My trusty Sony PS X800 really has no faults that I can specifically identify. Neglecting for the moment the linear tracking servo controlled arm, consider just the DD table.
There is no speed variation. This is evident using a strobe disc, and by listening to test tones (listening for waiver).
There is no pickup of noise from the motor.
Rumble is as low or lower than my old belt drive table which had a large diameter oil-soaked bearing.
It rotates the LP at a correct and uniform rate, while transmitting little vibration to the LP, or magnetic field to the pickup. Can someone tell me what it is not doing?
Now this DD turntable was not a cheap product, costing about $1000 in 1980. Perhaps, (and I think it so) Sony engineering did a good job on this product.
