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.


That must be due to the added audible vibrato distortion in the LP.

That's one thing that CDs don't have that LPs do have.


I don't care what it's due to. I simply know that it's true for my ears.
