> Contrast that to the same Raven AC-2 with the TIMELINE where ‘stylus drag’ is confirmed and differs to the KAB results?

Your test and comparison has a potential fundamental flaw - you must first re-set steady speed with the Timeline and the stylus off the record, before you can make the claim that the Timeline is showing a drift due to stylus drag, that the KAB does not.

The reason that is in your KAB video you have a record weight which is NOT necessarily the same mass as the Timeline, in your timeline video.

A properly executed test will first set speed with whatever device is being tested, with the stylus off the record, then with the stylus on the record.

There is a likelihood that the Timeline itself is actually slowing down the playback, in your Timeline video, not stylus drag.
