Turntable speed accuracy

Dear Halcro: No doubt Timeline is a great tool for now. I think that the main subject around it is not only that we learn more about our each one TTs and its right set up but that today TT designers use the Timeline ( or similar tool. ) as a important part on its design and development of a TT.

That we can know that this or that TT has a " failure " about can't help enough, what can help to each one of us as customers is that today and future TT designs could come with the Timeline " certification ".

At the end that " certification " is or should be IMHO a TT's designer target not ours.

Btw, Halcro the stock MS TTs are not good enough about speed and speed stability, its motor controler are deficient about . Years ago in my unit and other units we have to make changes in there to improve this TT main desirable characteristic. IMHO and with today standards MS units are only an average ones.

Anyway, Timeline is here to stay: good.

Regards and enjoy the music,

If it were not for the fact that my neighbor, for whom I have done a lot of audio favors, owns a Timeline, I never would have been able to test my turntables with it. No way I would pay $400 to buy one. I was quite satisfied with the KAB strobe. That's just an honest statement of my position, right or wrong. It was mostly a morbid curiosity that drew me to it, like a moth to a flame. Now I'm done with it, since I am unlikely to purchase another turntable in my lifetime. (Well, maybe one more that I have in the back of my mind.) It won't sit down on the Lenco spindle, which is one of the large diameter types. Any ideas how to use it on a Lenco? Interestingly, the owner of the Timeline is in no rush to have it back, so it's just sitting here.

I guess I could have rationalized buying one on the premise that it would pretty much hold its value when I would have been ready to dump it.

Dear Dover, I think it was posts like your last one that got the NVS thread deleted. You have a perfect right to express your opinion, but I think we need to temper our remarks about specific products and manufacturers lest someone pull the plug on this thread, too. I hate that this is the case, and, believe me, I am on the side of free speech.

Sorry, I meant to address my remark in my last post to "Dev", not "Dover".

It seems to me if the tt slows down momentarily, the laser spot would shrink, not lengthen.

Albert, I take all your points in support of the NVS, but the bottom line is what do you think of it in action? Does it blow away your SP10 Mk3?

The laser line lengthens and shortens and the line progresses clockwise (indicating + speed error) in the test I did. We have checked multiple turntables.

The MK3 did not show any error in any test.
