Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?


Why shouldnt perfect direct drive speed and pitch control be part of an Audiophile turntable system.  Not having pitch control is like missing a stereo mono switch.
Every high end turntable should have pitch control.

Most " high end " turntables are likely to have outboard power supply/ motor controller. A lot of these work on various types of speed feedback to control speed with a high degree of accuracy.

Some aftermarket ones like my Walker unit require you to use a disc and strobe to set accurately just the once.

So most high end TT probably do not require or need any further pitch controls.

Of course most vintage high end DD units had pitch control as standard.

Please name 2-3 Agoner's or reviewers or distributors or TT manufacturers that say what you write in the OP title.
