I had the exact problem you describe with a Merrill Heirloom table. I could hear the pitch changing irregularly, often as the system warmed up and it drove me mad. I now have an SME 20/2 and never hear this effect. I would imagine any of the more expensive turntables would minimize speed fluctuations.
Turntable with stable speed.
Which turntables offer a stable speed? I don't mind if it spins at 33.29 or 33.34, as long as it stays there and does not fluctuate.
I am very sensitive to uneven pitch being created by tables spinning at uneven speeds. Very evident with piano, or any instrument that is holding a long tone.
Which tables now-a-days excel at this?
