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.


That's technically imposible if the recordings are properly made. Perhaps
you can't detect CDs that were improperly made.


What I can detect is that some LP get timbres more right than any CD
that I've heard.
