Thanks for that interesting excerpt Richardkrebs.
I wish he had included the graphs, charts and figures to properly support his claims....
We of course are now able to graphically demonstrate some actual performance charts and figures for various turntables under test.
Dover still resorts to imagined 'monsters' from his antipodal 'sleep of reason' as witnessed by
It is indeed revealing that Dover has never had the intestinal fortitude to post his Final Parthenon turntable performances under both the Timeline and the Feikert Speed App yet continues to boast of its abilities. I am dubious in the extreme.....😎
As for your idea of testing the various arm/cartridge combinations on my TT-101...I don't believe the Feikert Speed App is accurate enough for this contest. In fact....if you conduct three 30 second test measurements with the identical table/arm/cartridge (without touching the set-up)...you will receive three sightly different results.
But as far as we can visually disprove Thigpen's theories, here are the Frequency Charts for my three arms and cartridges.
WE8000/ST
FR-64S
507/II
And just to show that not all DD turntables are the same here is the
Onkyo CP-1050
I have seen some good performance charts for some belt-drive decks....but just to show you what some are capable of....

4.The timeline only measures the arrival of a single point on the platter at the same place at each time. It does not measure what happens in between.He strangely ignores the Feikert Frequency Response Charts posted which demonstrate a 'real-time' ANALOGUE print-out over a 30 second time interval....an interval comprising 16 revolutions of the platter....which disproves his (and your) theory of malevolent speed behaviour BETWEEN the Timeline recording interval.
