Turntable speed accuracy

There is another thread (about the NVS table) which has a subordinate discussion about turntable speed accuracy and different methods of checking. Some suggest using the Timeline laser, others use a strobe disk.

I assume everyone agrees that speed accuracy is of utmost importance. What is the best way to verify results? What is the most speed-accurate drive method? And is speed accuracy really the most important consideration for proper turntable design or are there some compromises with certain drive types that make others still viable?

Never tried the Timeline with the Criterion because the air damping asks for a record fixing knob over the spindle of the platter.

I may try without the special fixing tool.

Dear all, I'm sorry I've stop watching the forum for a few days and so, I've admit I've felt somewhat pitty for no one of you could not indentify all of my bitter posts regarding the TT which been pictured by Hiho at 11-14-11.
It is my (28000 EURO) Symphonic Line RG6 and I have it from 1996. I'm trying to sell it locally for about a year with no luck here in Greece. I don't know how to post a picture with my Pluto on it (please Chris if you have the kindness do it for me). It is not possible to convert it for other than the euro std of 230V/50Hz and it is a great challenge for me to pack it safetly so, no interest to sell it other than local pick up. I'm not satisfied by this TT and I've allready replaced it by Thorens TD124 II/Saec WE308SX. I would not comment furthermore about it as I've allready said more than enough. You can search my posts in Agon.

Hi Geoch, To my knowledge Symphonic line produces amps not
turntables. So it may be possible that Brinkmann produced
this TT for Symphonic line? To me this TT looks like a Brinkmann and should be more easy to sell as a Brinkmann. There is much more in 'a name' than Shakespeare thought.

Dear Nicola, this is the very first product by Rolf Gemein long before the appearing of Symphonic Line amplifiers. I know that Brinkmann was one of his employees. The RG6 was reviewed by TAS back at 1991 and praised as the best TT in the world. After living with it from '96 till today, I can say that it is not to my liking.

Dear Geoch
A pleasure to do so.
Again thank you so much for the recommendation on the Lenco 75. :^)

Please let me know if I ever have the permission to post a pic for the inspiration behind my symposium experiment.

I will call it INSPIRATION.

The people here at Agon would love to see it.

Nikola I am sorry for making you look at this tonearm.
I understand you are not allowed to buy it based on your principals. I respect u for that.
