Actusreus,I wouldn't judge all tonearm lifters by the VPI one.......? 
Turn table speed variation question
Good answer Fleib....No analog Lp recording is perfect as far as speed variation.Nothing in audio IS perfect......Just because our speakers aren't 'perfect'....does that excuse us from trying to create a 'better' amplifier?

Also, watching Halcro's videos, it's interesting how some audiophiles just drop the cartridge on the record.Perhaps you should buy a tonearm with hydraulic action lifting and lowering...as all my six arms have?No human can lower the cartridge more...

Nice start Peter....Obviously something is wrong with the Denon.....but the SME 30/12 puts in a solid performance....particularly for a belt drive which mostly find it hard to compete with the old Japanese 'super' DD models?This should be a chance... 
TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks
Yes HiHo.......that Link about Tommy from TopClass is what inspired my Thread about Vintage turntables and "Living Dangerously"......Thanks to Lew and his ability to track down transistors and equivalent parts used by their Ref Nos......I now sle...

Banquo.....I meant that I have been doing this for three days to make sure that it was not just a 'good' day the first time I listened?It sounded better after 3 hours as you say....but even better the next day :-)Don't give up hope on your pigskin...

Thanks Peterayer....and thanks also for the Video of the SP10Mk2A.It is indeed a fine result with the Timeline.As steady as the TT-101.....I couldn't connect with your Link to the Denon?Any chance of posting it here? 
Turn table speed variation question
Just for the 'record'....hehe....and to comply with Peterayer's request......HERE is a video of the TT-101 playing a record (single arm and cartridge).At the beginning and the end....where there is silence.....the arm has not been dropped...or has...

Perhaps you would like to make a video of your TW Akustics and add it to the database.Heh heh......unfortunately the Raven AC-2 or AC-3 is unable to be adjusted to the exact 33.33rpm with its motor controller.Some would say this is maddening overs... 
Turn table speed variation question
Thanks for the Link Peterayer.....Not a bad performance from the SME....This is what any 'good' belt-drive table should be able to achieve?There is a slight drift backwards of the Timeline mark from the beginning to the end.....but you will notice... 
Turn table speed variation question
Using high compliance cartridges on heavy arms will exacerbate the problems of eccentric records as well.Some evidence or proof for this statement would be illuminating? 
Turn table speed variation question
I do believe the word “unequalled” may be a contentious one.Perhaps I should have elaborated….but this has been discussed in other Threads on turntable speed accuracy and I did not wish to complicate this one?The JVC/Victor TT-101 has pretty good... 
Price Increases
Look at some of the Virtual Systems at here costing into the hundreds of thousands and ponder upon the foolishness of man.Is that more foolish than a man walking the streets with hundreds of thousands rolled into a wristwatch? 
Turn table speed variation question
Lew's right.Any stringed instrument is particularly sensitive to minute speed deviations.When I listen to acoustic guitar on my Victor TT-101 DD turntable with unequalled speed accuracy......an off-centre record hole will be mercilessly exposed. :-(
