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.

Some say the worst thing you can say is some say. Some say its weaselly and manipulative. Some say its better to be direct. Some say if you know who said it then just say so. Some say otherwise you never know.

You don't have to be a clear speech and language extremist to think some say is a cop out. Or so, at any rate, some say.
Like Raul said, please tell us who regards pitch control and (or) direct drive as sacrilege?  Of course, the two are not necessarily synonymous, but we can leave that aside for now. Another attack on useful discourse by the pointless thread starter.
Look who let the cat out of the bag mr wonderful @rauliruegas 

@stringbeam just wait and see.

@lewm ive spoken to many in real life who view pitch control and DD as not audiophile. Those would be Linn owners and those who own multi thousand dollar turntables. 
I swapped out my modified Project Debut III for a vintage automatic Technics DD turntable. I realized that my audiophile zeal for manual TT's has subsided as I got old and lazy and didn't want to have to leap out of my chair at the end of an album side. The Project did sound a bit better on bass extension, but the Technics is dead silent and built like a tank. I generally stream music and listen to my albums less and less.
