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?

"After living with it from '96 till today, I can say that it is not to my liking."
Dear Geoch, After reading the line I have pasted above this one, I would have to say that 15 years of suffering gives you the right to criticize. Now you can get rid of the damn thing. You've given it a fair chance to impress you.

I would be glad to trade it for a Goldfinger, a SAEC WE800SX, a Centroid or even good DAC. Especially if for the SAEC WE800SX, I would be happy to also give my own WE308SX with the RG6. I don't expect for anyone to reply in this forum, (it is not possible for me to accept the challenge of safetly packing it) but I want to give you an idea of my desparation as I even can't stand to see this TT anymore in my house. I'm sure that someone could bring up the apparent modifications (in motor, PSU, symmetrical flywheel & thread) and perhaps makes it sing to his satisfaction. Others are allready love it's way of performing, but for me it was a very bitter & dissapointing experience and I have to stop here. Impress me yes. This of course is the danger of hearing it without understanding what is going on. The huge wall of sound of it's personality is endlessly throwing dust to your eyes so you can't clearly recognize it's faults.

Hi Geoch, May I suggest the German sites : www.ebay.de and
www.audio-markt.de. Your TT and the tonearm are familiar
in Germany and the Germans are the only reach people in Europe at present. You should sell both apart and , considering the postage cost for items above 20 kgr., restrict the delivery of your TT to E.Union. If you need help with German you are welcome.

Regards,

Hey Geoch, Nandric is right. You will definitely get a good price in the German market for your TT. I have seen one in an exclusive High End shop recently. They sell it as a Brinkmann Project.
I would rather go on ebay, maybe ebay.com than on Audio Markt. At Audio Markt you will be confronted with lots of stupid questions. No need for this experience.

Best @ Good Luck
