Should have read Tony's post before writing the above post. I think the amount of error and the type of error Tony describes should be perfectly acceptable. It is a linear error; in other words it would be the result of the platter spinning a teeny bit too fast at some constant rate. That kind of error should be adjustable back to dead on accurate, and if it's not, it nevertheless would be inconsequential. I thought we all agreed that the concern is for transient or instantaneous errors related to variations in stylus drag. Such errors would in theory go either way, too fast or too slow. So the Timeline light might move back and forth in either direction from neutral.
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?
