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.


If one can detect speed variations with a modern TT,
either the TT or the source is defective.


In fact all LPs are highly defective as compared to the usual digital
equivalents.


I know that that is true in a variety of ways. Too bad that in the area
of instrumental and vocal timbre, LP sometimes gets it more right than
does digital.
