Regarding the eddy current brake as used in the Beat TT
Go to teresaudio.com and follow the link...micro precise speed technology.
The Certus motor.
As I said earlier, this is an elegant design.

You have incorrectly claimed that the Beat uses phase lag to pre load the motor.

The Beat appears to uses electromagnetic drag to "pre load" the motor. Moving the rotor back in phase relative to the rotating field.

The Certus does not preload the motor using phase lag as you incorrectly claimed in your post re the Beat TT.
The white paper you refer to confirms my comments that the motor is preloaded from additional drag provided by the eddy brake, not the phase lag as you have claimed.

Motivated from Peter I tried to make my first Video ever :-)
The first one I made in the evening, the Laser was seen very good but it was too dull overall, so I started a new one in daylight.The file is compressed from optical quality but I think it is ok. The Laser is seen in reality below 2 letters (the "CK") in the name Fruhbeck. I stopped after 2 minutes, I wanted to avoid the make the file too huge but the Laser was still below these 2 letters after 5 minutes. That's ok I think :-)
The most other turntables I checked with that unit were out of specs after 5 seconds

I thought this thread was to be a database of timeline checked turntables - not a guessing session.

So did I……..
There are many other Threads where you can proclaim the ‘superiority’ of your choice of turntable…….
Instead of the subjective, emotive and mostly unproven claims often made in those ‘Mine is Bigger than Yours’ contests……this Thread was begun purely to demonstrate objectively (via the Timeline)…..the actual performance of turntables ‘under load’.

Videos and comments/observations about those videos are most welcome.

We have heard continually over the years….the claims of ‘superiority’ for the heavy-mass belt-drive turntables like the Micro Seikis and Dover’s Final Parthenon and I have no reason to doubt these….
We know also that both Dover and Syntax have access to a Timeline and we have seen evidence of Syntax’s abilities with photography and computer up-loads…..so it puzzles me slightly that neither of these individuals appears brave enough to simply post his turntable's performances with the Timeline on this Thread?

For consistency, as you have done, it may be advisable for people posting videos to show say 1 minute of stylus raised followed by a time with it lowered playing some robust music. Something like the lovely piece you played.
While having the stylus raised presents no load, it would give us at least a guide of how the TT would perform when tracking very lightly modulated grooves followed by heavily modulated ones.

Halcro = I dont own a timeline, I borrowed it from the local audio shop here. At some stage when I can get hold of it I'll post a video. The Albinoni is great.
