Turntable speed accuracy

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.

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.

I should add to my last post.

No, the NVS does not blow away the MK3. I'm trying to remain neutral, there are already hot comments flying around on this topic and I don't understand why.

If a particular table is doing well for you, why take the effort to crush another brand? Something that another person may be enjoying and thinks is wonderful?

I'll state this, the MK3 is still my overall favorite turntable of all time, regardless.

Now that I've said that, remember the MK3 have not been manufactured in more than a quarter of a century and at least one part in it has no current replacement available.

If that parts fails and you cannot find used, the table is dead.

So in spite of my fondness of the MK3, it is expensive, difficult to obtain and requires a COMPLETE rebuild and (in my opinion) one of our specialty plinths to get the performance I'm speaking of.

Just putting things into perspective on both sides.
