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?

Good news Lew,
But are you sure the Timeline is accurate? :^)

I can answer for Lew, I test each and every Sutherland Timeline by putting them on my MK3.

If the Timeline holds true and steady for an entire side of a heavily modulated LP, it passes and is ready to be shipped to the waiting customer ( :^D )

Albertporter,
This is astonishing, you are saying that every Timeline shipped is calibrated to your SP10mk3.
So if your SP10mk3 is out all Timelines shipped could be out.
Didn't you just "prove" that after calibrating the Timeline to your SP10mk3 that this then proves the Timeline is accurate because your SP10mk3 gives the same result when retested.
I think I need a drink.... or a shrink.
