Measure My Turntable Speed

I've been told that a very accurate way to measure the speed of a turntable is by using a test meter set to khz, placing the positive terminal into one of the outputs of the phono stage (or tape output), the other to the ground and then play a 1000hz test track of our a good quality test record... If the table speed is good, the reading should be very close to 1khz...

Ever tried this one?

Personally, I don't get it. A Kab is relatively inexpensive yet most of you want to rally around a light and cardboard. Go for it .

I don't get it either. Why measure unless the needle is in the groove?

A paper disc and fluorescent light are all that's required.

You don't need the overpriced KAB toy. That's quite simple.

Get it?

Yep, its works very well, but you may not be happy with the results.
