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?

We have pretty good reports from TW Acustic owners, who have changed the standard PSU with battery motor control unit from Raven Black Night.
To resolve this problem some BD makers use optical feedback - to measure the platter speed and adjust the motor speed "in time". I think the new "Micro Seiki" spaceship is equipped with such a speed management system.
