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?

I do have the KAB Strobe and disc. I am not 100% confident on its accuracy. I used Feickert's Adjust Pro + and his test record. When Adjust tells me I am dead on, KAB says otherwise by a significant amount.

I ended up using a Fluke DMM and measured the 3150hz tone on the Adjust test record after communicating with Feickert. He seems very confident on the accuracy of his test tone frequency.
