Brinkmann vs TW Acustic

I'm fortunate in having two turntables......the DD Victor TT-101 which keeps perfect speed via the Timeline regardless of record clamps, weight of record, type of cartridge and VTA......and even regardless of whether there are no arms tracking the record or three arms tracking the record.
The other turntable......the Raven AC-2 which must be set with the cartridge tracking the grooves and can get very, very close to complete accuracy via the Timeline.....but because of its controller, will be either slightly fast or slightly slow. But consistently so.
The differences in sound due to the timing in the two turntables is undetectable in my system so Raul, Lew and Suteetat are all correct in their predictions on this issue.
As long as a turntable is revolving at a CONSISTENT speed........whether slightly slow or fast........is all that really matters.

The funny thing is nobody seems to get the point that Dev had a Raven or 3, went to an old Micro. Do the Raven owners club seriously think someone would upgrade to a turntable that sounds worse ?

Yes Dover.....that is a 'funny thing'.
There are many posts on this Forum from Dev 'pushing' the whole TW turntable menu.....from the Raven 1, the AC1, the AC3 to the Black Knight.
And the costs involved in this exercise are quite considerable.
You would have to believe that Dev had heard many other turntables before investing in the Raven brand........from his numerous posts, you can see that he had.
So the Ravens at many stages.....sounded better to him than other turntables?
Then suddenly.....not?
That's fair enough.
We all grow in our 'upgrading' quest.
Yet peculiarly I don't find many posters who 'rubbish' the equipment they owned along the way?
If the Ravens sounded better than other turntables at a previous stage in Dev's development.......perhaps the old Micro will meet the same fate at a future time?......perhaps when Dev's infatuation with Syntax subsides?
In any case.......how can you trust his fickleness?
