Measure My Turntable Speed

I've been told that a very accurate way to measure the speed of a turntable is by using a test meter set to khz, placing the positive terminal into one of the outputs of the phono stage (or tape output), the other to the ground and then play a 1000hz test track of our a good quality test record... If the table speed is good, the reading should be very close to 1khz...

Ever tried this one?

Gerardff... how very interesting and simple.

Exceedingly dumb question (but I have to ask it anyway):

Does the accuracy of the measurement of a Digital Photo Laser Tachometer matter at to the placing of the reflective tape: whether the reflective tape is on the outer edge of the LP, toward the center, or somewhere in between?

Thanks & have an excellent new year's eve and new year.

:) listening,

Ed
