Turntable speed accuracy

There is another thread (about the NVS table) which has a subordinate discussion about turntable speed accuracy and different methods of checking. Some suggest using the Timeline laser, others use a strobe disk.

I assume everyone agrees that speed accuracy is of utmost importance. What is the best way to verify results? What is the most speed-accurate drive method? And is speed accuracy really the most important consideration for proper turntable design or are there some compromises with certain drive types that make others still viable?

I hear you Tony but it seems nobody else is or wants to pay attention to you. They are believing that if the timeline isn't right nor is the turntble but yet there have only been just a couple of tables mentioned that the timeline is true on.

Thanks Halcro, was just wondering by chance. Dang Lew that was fast, look forward to future comments you may have.

Have our monthly club meeting this week, have to ask the guys if anyone has a timeline. If not might have to break down just for kicks since I am love tools of the trad :).

"One point not properly addressed so far.....is how idlers or rim-drives perform against the Timeline?
Perhaps Lew will be able to enlighten us on this?"

As a idler user I would appreciate Lews results on his Lenco. I would also appreciate how his DP80 performs, you would think it would be spot on as the TT101. Halcro have you tried the timeline with your TT81?

Canam, the newest model does that so it is easier to find the spot that is easiest for you to watch while the rest can be ignored. I think it is mentioned on the Sutherland website.

Lew, are you saying that you was able to get the Lenco dialed in with the Walker to allow no drift with the Timeline.
