Bardo and 10.5 vs Stabi S and 4point 9

First I never said the Bardo had grossly or audible speed issues I said it just had speed issues this measured using the Timeline device which uses a quartz clock and said to be accurate to two parts per million. Not many tables can pass the timeline device test.

I will ad, that I was also considering Stabi S (12" version), and when nearing final decision, opted for Ref 2/Ref 313 VTA. The Stabi Ref 2 never did it for me in photos, but I am very pleased with the look in person. Lastly, I will simply echo the words built like a tank from above. 

Sksos, thank you very much.
This kind of info is extremely valuable and, although agreeing that the Timeline test is challenging for most of the turntables in the market, it is indeed paramount to assess the results since speed stability and accuracy are preconditions for a good turntable and it is very unfortunate that they are likely not to be found in many cases. 

Sksos,  Quartz clock or no quartz clock, the Timeline is naught but a set of strobe lights that blink at a constant frequency.  As such, the enhanced accuracy has most to do with the very long distance from the spindle to the wall upon which one reads the flashes, relative to that afforded by conventional strobe/disc methods, not the electronics of it. Nevertheless, I have tested all 4 of my vintage DD turntables with the Timeline (which I borrowed from a friend), and they tend to be bang on accurate.  Which is why I wondered about the Bardo.  The Bardo, so far as I know, has a coreless motor governed by a Hall sensor, very much like other coreless motor-driven DD turntables going back to the original Dual built in the 60s, which includes my Victor TT101 and my Kenwood L07D.  With its modern implementation of a well established design, the Bardo should easily pass the Timeline test.

I have a Bardo and I've got some speed problems. The bardo went back to Germany and now it works flawless. The speed is very stable.
