Natural Sound

Did you play with the calibration settings?
No. The SL1200G has plenty of torque to manage my platter pad, even though the pad weighs 5 pounds.
It remains between 33.331 and 33.334 and that variation is completely inaudible to me. Could anyone hear it?
Not as pitch!! You might get a tiny shimmer in the sound stage as the tonearm oscillates over the groove as the machine speed varies. But when the speed is that close I dubious of even that.
 
My current turntable can't be measured this way - I can't remove the belt while it is playing.

People should realize that this measurement is is meaningless with DD turntables, even coreless ones - when not energised they are braked by electromagnetic counter forces.
I don't worry about the measurements of DD turntables, just the way they often sound ;) Micro has 2 belt drive turntables and should start his data collection in his own listening room, you can keep on criticizing as a "innocent " bystander.:rolleyes:
 
From the base
Let's hope Ron does not catch that one, WBF is the Disney version of a audio forum, family friendly and wholesome !:p

Your information services are poor and then you spread fake news ... You should get help from from CIA ...

My old external belt turntables are now sold, a new turntable project will start soon and I am getting proper information and expert advice, not gossip. Air bearing, belt and DD are being considered.

Again, focus on the best each technology can offer, do not make your mind looking in the neighbour waste bin.

We are looking forward to the ultimate TT build from a man that prefers DCS digital to analog. ;)
