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?

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.

OK guys, now what about those overpriced dinosaurs full of glamour & macho BS ?
As you see their imposing sight can bring many faulse hopes and great expectations. For me this particular is a cheater but for some others may be the end and all of an analog source. Is it only about the money maker mind behind them ? I asure you NO! Mr Gemein is the kindest of souls among us. So, it is my estimation that we audiophiles, we just don't accept the same values or priorities in music reproduction. I regret that I had to pay such a high price and lost 15 years only to find my own priorities.
