Turnable database with TimeLine

Hi Halcro,

What piece of music is playing in your Raven AC-2 video?

Forthcoming is the Saskia and at least one unlikely vintage turntable. Of interest to me is how the turntables behave at the very start when the record is cued. It would be nice to see that in the videos, too.

Many years ago I owned a Goldmund Studio. In an attempt to improve it, I built a larger power supply. I scoped the supply output while playing a record. To my amazement I could see the supply output voltage being modulated by the music I was playing. There is only one conclusion that one can draw from this finding. ... The platter speed itself was being modulated by the music in the form of stylus drag. This was occurring even at quite high frequencies. It is likely that the Goldmund would do well in the time line test, since it's average speed would be close to the mark. But what was happening on a micro level was a completely different story.

Actusreus,
I wouldn't judge all tonearm lifters by the VPI one.......?

I suspect that the occasional blip in the red line on the video is due to the shutter speed of the video camera.

It IS a function of the shutter speed.
In reality...the dash is the same length every time.
