    Is the speed stability of my Technics 1200 acceptable?

    First of all: I’m extremely detail-oriented and tend to obsess over my turntable. While closely observing the platter on my deck, I’ve noticed a slight oscillation in the strobe dots. It’s almost imperceptible and I don’t hear anything unusual in the sound. It might be due to wear on the...
