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.

You missed it, Uber, snooze you lose. I was a Sr. Mathematician at NASA when you were still wearing bell bottoms.

No snoozing on duty!

Bell bottoms?

Now you ARE showing your age!

But I digress.

I can attest to the current crop of higher end belt drive TT using speed sensing devices to feedback to the speed controller so operating in a similar fashion to top end DD tables.

A friend has exactly that set up on his table.

How slow this system will react to speed changes to adjust itself!
IMHO it is a very bad engineering.
