Get a Technics SL-1200 MK 5 modded by KAB USA and call it a day.
Turntable with stable speed.
Which turntables offer a stable speed? I don't mind if it spins at 33.29 or 33.34, as long as it stays there and does not fluctuate.
I am very sensitive to uneven pitch being created by tables spinning at uneven speeds. Very evident with piano, or any instrument that is holding a long tone.
Which tables now-a-days excel at this?

If speed stability is you primary concern, the late 70s DD japanese systems really had that down pat. I bought a Sony PS-x65 for my wife, due to the auto features. I has a composite plinth and a magnetic strip under the platter to measure speed which is then locked with a quartz frequency generator. Based on the strobe, it never fluctuates from dead on, at least for the pretty long time I watched it to see if it did. Even the best belt drives I have watched have some fluctuation, not a lot, and not audible to me, but not rock steady like the Sony. I suspect the other DD of the same vintage are similar. Now, get one of the high end ones for about $500, put on an SME 309 and a Lyra Delos, and you should have an excellent system. |
Sorry, I meant "47 Labs" not "RS Labs". see here |
In the above, I was referencing a post responding to Doug that was not posted. I cited the novel design of the 47 Labs tt as a cure for belt creep, among many other things I wrote in said post. Another treatment I mentioned was use of a capstan to keep the belt close to both the platter and the motor pulley over most of their circumferences. |
You have repeated this over and over again. It seems you have a real grudge against my company. 1 - TTW Audio pulls of 100% feedback on every on line site out there. 2 - We are an A+ member of the better business bureau which means we have 100% positive products and customer service 3 - There are review on Audiogon that say we have perfect speed control period, perfect products perfect feedback 4 - We have 100 of customer reviews 5 - The GEM table has more than 250 in operation and going strong. I suggest you lack any credibility whatsoever due to your absolute lack of any feedback. We offer 100% 60 day performance guarantee, unparalleled in the turntable industry except for VPI,they do the same on some tables. I would not use the time line device we use a much stricter method testing. I do not expect someone like SOS to understand any of the correct procedures to test table speed over time. Thank you all of you on Audiogon who have bought and supported us over the last 8 years! Cheers Larry Denham larryd@ljtmfg.com 905 953 7923 |
