Turntable speed accuracy

Grr6001 - No one ( to my knowledge ) ever stated it was better than any other TT.
Jonathan Tinn had stated in his system ( which now seems to have disappeared) :
"The Wave Kinetics NVS Direct Drive Turntable is absolutely in a league of it's own. Having a great deal of experience with the likes of the Rockport Sirius III, Continuum, SME 30, Forsell Reference, Grand Prix Audio Monaco, VPI HRX, Nottingham Hyperspace, Basis Debut, Lodo Audio The Beat, Kuzma Stabi XL, Vyger Indian Signature, Walker Proscenium and many others, this turntable is truly unique. It is immediately noticeable. "
There was no declaration of commercial interest.

However it is time to move on.

Wow!

Seems to me a few here have another agenda to try to discredit or devalue what I feel is one of the best turntables to hit the market in a very long time.

It's to bad some have to stoop to these childish levels.

This table,,, The Wave Kinetics NVS, properly set up..... in many ways equals my reference reel to reel tapes.

I know I'm not alone in this assessment>

Dear Raul,
It is rather strange that the ability to maintain accurate and consistent speed for a turntable whilst playing records.......appears to be the hardest feat (for most of them) to achieve?
I would have thought that this is the primary (sine qua non) quality and function of a turntable?
Perhaps your idea of Manufacturers selling turntables with a 'Timeline Certification' could sort the chaff from the wheat?.......but are there ANY manufacturers of current turntables able (or prepared) to do this?

I think in the end.....it is up to each user. Caveat Emptor?

Albert and Lew,
You don't specifically mention it......but I assume the SP10-3 maintained its speed with and without the cartridge tracking the groove?

Also Albert......you don't specifically mention if the NVS passed the Timeline test with equal aplomb?
Lew....have you tested the Kenwood L07-D with the Timeline? Even if you don't have a tonearm mounted....it would be interesting to know?
Also.....I have seen almost nothing regarding the speed stability of Idler Decks vis-a-vis the Timeline?
Will the Timeline not sit on the Idler spindle at all?......even if it doesn't sit all the way down, can't you manage to somehow 'wedge' it on?

Peterayer,

I stand corrected on the fact that some including JT implied that the NVS is the best. It is what they feel as they have done the testing & comparisons to other TT's. I do happen to agree with them & feel the same. I also have done my comparisons.
I just don't like to personally put the best tag on anything.
JT, Mike, & a few others, I respect their opinions as they do know what great systems & components sound like. They also navigate to the style / sound I prefer as well.

I also understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions, even if they haven't heard it. Yes, it's part of the forums.... sometimes not for the betterment of the hobby. I just expressed my opinion that they should keep their negative remarks to themselves, since they do not know what they are talking about, & some just have another agenda.
It's fine to agree & disagree, but we need to have a solid basis / foundation in which to form our selective opinions.
