3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢

It’s ridiculous!

If the tonearm does not move side to side while playing the record then your record is perfectly centered (perfectly enough, so no one can detect any imperfections in pitch, even trained musicians). The rest is speculations of the most boring people - audiophiles.

Vinyl is a cheap media format to manufacture, off-centered records must be in the recycle bin immediately. Defective records must be returned to the seller/shop whatever, no one will argue about it.

Unfortunately there are off centered records in the market, playing those records everyone can actually see how a tonearm is moving side to side (sometimes it’s 5mm off, and that’s awful, in this case the pitch is noticeably and constantly changing, especially if you are listening to the horn section, for example).

If your tonearm does not move side to side then you don’t have to worry !

If you’re still worried then stick to digital.

Good grief.
Why are you obsessed with only 3 TT's??  There are plenty of great tables without astronomical prices that have exceptional/state of the art speed accuracy.  Try The Merrill-Wiliams 101.3  WWW.realturntable.com

George has been making exquisitely engineered TT for a very long time dating back to his Merrill Heirloom Turntable.

@grooves, thanks for your heartfelt concern about my mental state, but jealousy towards people who buy these things is not part of it. You are correct I haven’t heard any of these tables and I never will. I’ve reached an age that denies me the ability to hear the alledged superiority of these turntables anyway, so I couldn’t care less. However, charging $150.000 for a dressed up Technics turntable is sort of offensive and simply begs to be ridiculed. I’ll gladly accomodate..... 😋

Dear @halcro  : ""  Platterspeed measurements are for “entertainment purposes only”. All test records are faulty...""

Got it?.  Maybe we took/take audio critical issues really seriously and is how we have to do it.

My worried about is because the platterspeed  charts came fom him in his TT reviews.

As a fact I took it in more than one time those charts as a " reference " in some threads.

Dear @edgewear : "" However, charging $150.000 for a dressed up Technics turntable is sort of offensive ....""

Yes if you consider the facts of the main whole TT design that in 2020 was analised here on a thread where one of many posts about is this one:

This is what was posted by some one or maybe in the review ( I can't remember. ):
:

""""" is an acceptable price for pushing the boundaries of what is possible with hifi and sound quality """""

Here Agoner comments about:

Who told you that the SAT TT " pushed the boundaries of what is possible....".

The TT apports almost nothing to the TT kind of designs, exist nothing new/novelty or unique that appears for the very first time in the audio history and antinn resumed it in his statements:


""""" this table is not breaking any new state of the art. The motor is a modified Technics; the base is a modified Minus-K isolation platform and as far as the plinth, magnesium alloy has been known for over 50 years to provide superior damping qualities """""

and neither for the hold down LP mechanism.
