Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege?

..so who's arguing?

Most " high end " turntables are likely to have outboard power supply/ motor controller. A lot of these work on various types of speed feedback to control speed with a high degree of accuracy.

Some aftermarket ones like my Walker unit require you to use a disc and strobe to set accurately just the once.

So most high end TT probably do not require or need any further pitch controls.

Of course most vintage high end DD units had pitch control as standard.

Dear @vinny55 :  """  Turntable extremists ?  ""

Please name 2-3 Agoner's or reviewers or distributors or TT manufacturers that say what you write in the OP title.

Some say the worst thing you can say is some say. Some say its weaselly and manipulative. Some say its better to be direct. Some say if you know who said it then just say so. Some say otherwise you never know.

You don't have to be a clear speech and language extremist to think some say is a cop out. Or so, at any rate, some say.
