RE: While we're on the subject of 'cheap-assed' turntables...

I'm of the opinion that a turntable should spin AT CORRECT SPEED*, as purchased, without need for expensive modifications or fixes. Minor "tweaks" are one thing, fixing gross speed errors is quite another.

*Let's use NAB standards for turntable speed accuracy: plus/minus 0.3% and Wow & flutter: no more than 0.1%.

Those are reasonably achievable standards for any manufacturer who cares about quality and accuracy. That a manufacturer would build and sell turntables to NO PUBLISHED SPECS tells me that: 1) They have something to hide. 2) There is no effective quality control program in place. 3) There are likely serious design issues or compromises in their product. 4) They seek to avoid customer returns by in essence providing no implied warranty of performance that published specs would provide.
