Table speed

I heard an interesting fact from a musician friend. He calculated that if a turntable ran 1% fast, it would be like hearing a guitar note 1/6 sharp, quite easy to hear. I play guitar and use quarter bends all the time. Just a little less. This makes me all the more concerned about speed. Now in all fairness, if I wasn't comparing it to something or let's say, playing along with a perfectly tuned guitar, I may not be able to tell. My ear isn't good enough to simply say, that is fast, but knowing this does cause some concern in my search for a turntable. Being of German heritage, I naturally gravitate toward order and perfection. (joke) Just thought I would pass this on, and once again, I am not looking for an argument, but If anyone sees it differntly from my friends assesment, please let me know. Thank you and thanks for a great forum. There is a wealth of information here that I will use and try to contribute to in my own humble way.
