CSPort Turntable speed control


Wondering how the CSPort TAT1 and TAT2 lock on to speeds?  Is it reading the platter speed?  I see the plus and minus buttons and one that says lock.  Can't find a manual online...

Thank you!

The TAT1M2 has a built-in strobe that when you press the “Lock” button (which actually unlocks the process) the strobe turns on and now you can use the + or – buttons. The strobe flashes along the spinning platter and you see lines that move faster or slower, just as if you have placed a strobe disc on the platter but again it’s built-into the outside of the platter. You hit the plus or neg button until the lines stop moving then you hit the Lock button whcih locks the speed in and there you have it. Simple, quick and efficient.

So I gather there is no servo or feedback mechanism that attempts to continuously correct speed. Yes?

Dear @lewm  : This is what CS Port says about the motor rotational speed:

 

" a highly accurate voltage is supplied to the motor without fluctuation based on a crystal oscillator with high frequency accuracy.  "

 

They use the word " accuracy " but not exactly by the TT speed stability that's in true inside " mediocrity " by CS Port spec: where the rotation precision is:

+,- 0.3%. This means that that TT has a swing of 0.6% on speed precision  ! go figure what you pay for that TT  $$$$$  !  ! I don't give it a " dime " for it.

 

I don't know what do you think about? and the owners?

Interesting perspectives.  I'm always thinking about what sounds like really cool technology for turntables and then also how long that part last or that sensor or re-calibrating.  I think the SME Model 60 was just released and I don't think that table is doing live monitoring of the speed and making corrections....I think you calibrate it and leave it?

The Döhmann Helix One MK3 looks really cool!  Might be out of my budget.  

That Esoteric Grandioso T1 Magnetic drive systems looks really cool as well!  But I think it's a step up from what I'm looking at.
