What is a good turntable wow/flutter spec?

I hope I have not screwed up on purchasing this Thorens
TD170. It's rated =/- .12% DIN but I can hear the pitch
instability.
Audible flutter and wow is to be expected with the vinyl format unless you
take heroic steps. Even then, there are both visible and invisble defects in
a LP disc that make it sound watery like vinyl often does.
The DIN spec for flutter and wow is more demanding than other specs.
Before you indict your player, make sure that your test LP isn't part of the
problem. For example, it needs to be absolutely flat and free of warps and
ripples.
