RE: i wonder....

I made some digital recordings from Mike Lavigne's Rockport Sirius III.

No!

Jitter has nothing to do with turntable speed stability. Furthermore, the audible effects of jitter in CD players has basically been eliminated years ago. The jitter specification on my 12-year old CD Transport via its I2S buss output is 5-picoseconds.

I don't believe "very small time distortions similar to digital jitter" exist in turntables with 27-lb platters. Sorry! I don't buy it!

Digital does not have measurable wow & flutter and jitter is a non-player in this discussion. Sorry!

The point I'm making is that there is so much wow & flutter already recorded into LPs that the effect of a turntable with perfect speed stability is insignificant compared to a turntable with reasonable speed stability.
