I have checked my VOM with the Rives test CD and it reads +_ 1 hz at frequescies from 1000 to 3150 hz, so I think I will buy the Ultimate Analog Test LP to cross-check my strobe disk. I also happen to have an old dual trace scope, so I should also be able to set azimuth from the same diak. No often I can "kill 2 birds" with $40.
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?
