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

No snoozing on duty!

Bell bottoms?

Now you ARE showing your age!

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.

Really?
Unless you know what model I am referring to intimately( which as I never mentioned, would be impossible) that is a statement you cannot and should not make.
IMHO of course.......

'extremists' answers your own question. I usually cross to the other side of the street.

In 70x the best most talented engineers worked in analog electronic industry.
Today best engineers work in Hi-Tech. Most of modern audio engineers are morons.
Modern main stream hi-end went far away from live music sound to virtual synthetic sound that doesn’t exist in real live.
