Bardo and 10.5 vs Stabi S and 4point 9

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.

ben64, that´s good to hear. Have you got any detailed feedback from brinkmann? That could be a problem with some earlier batches of motors and the current ones are improved? I will audition one all Brinkmann setup (bardo + 10.5 tonearm + pi) very soon and bring a timeline in order to check how well it performs...

gallus, the speed switch has to be replaced.  The Bardo + 10.5 deserve more than pi cartridge. I have the Lyra Skala on it.
