Turntable speed accuracy
TIMELINEHere is the video with the Timeline on the Transrotor Fat Bob which has a massive platter.Watch how the Timeline immediately slows when the stylus is lowered?The Timeline is also sold as a 'record weight'....although on the light side.It i...

One red herring: the LP is sitting on a Boston Audio Mat1, which is kind of slippery; the LP itself could be sliding due to stylus drag. I hate when that happens. I hate record weights.Lew.......please remove the mat. Slippage can be a real problem?

Halcro have you tried the timeline with your TT81? Unfortunately I didn't have the Timeline when I had the TT-81 set-up.Now it is too much of a hassle to remove the TT-101..... Install the TT-81....and then re-install the TT-81? Sorry :^)

Hi Chris,The DD is only at a correct 33.3 “in transition” between the time the motor kicks in to speed up and shuts off to slow down. At all other times it is not at 33.3. I don't believe this is a fair assessment of the DD motor technology?There ...

Hi Tony,Yes....I think speed accuracy was indeed mastered over 30 years ago but as I mentioned elsewhere......with the dominance of belt-drive over DD turntables due in large part to the Linn propaganda and the reviewers who championed it.....'spe...

Hi Tony,I have left the Timeline running for an entire album side with zero drift.If you go to YouTube and look up the Timeline video (not mine).....you will notice on the demonstration that his turntable.........demonstrates a significant drift w... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet?

What does everyone expect from their turntables when using the Timline device? Absolute zero drift of the laser mark? It's not an impossible expectation?Have you not seen my video of the Victor TT-101 with the Timeline and three arms being lowere...

Ahhh the vagaries of the Audiophile mentality?Rather than question the accuracy of their calculators ( because they can't go to infinity 33.333333333333333333333....) or the accuracy of a Strobe which needs to flash at constant and repeatable freq...

Hi Dev,I am using only two motors instead of the three. I found that with the standard Raven belt......the speed consistency was better than with the three.I assume that the extra belt contact on the platter has something to do with it?The same pr...

Good point Bvidiman.I guess a watch tells the time and can be worn.......unlike stamps or coins?

What's the market for a $165K watch?.........yet there are hundreds fighting for every one that Patek Philippe can produce.Strange world indeed :^)

I have just replaced the rubber belt on my Raven AC-2 with the Bavarian thread sent to me by Dertonarm ( thanks Daniel).The speed consistency is slightly improved with this thread drive but the sound of the turntable has been somewhat transformed....

I have just fitted a thread drive to replace the rubber belt on the Raven AC-2 (thank you Daniel for the Bavarian thread)........and apart from the increased accuracy in speed constancy over the original rubber.......the actual improvement in soun... 
Fastest subwoofer?
+3 or+4 for Vandy 2Wq......2 of them of course :^)I've had REL Stadium II and there is no real comparison.Fast, clean, deep and most importantly.......leaves the signal to the main speakers absolutely pure and untouched.
