Most accurate IOS app for turntable speed check

@lewm 

I agree, constant speed is important, wavering even very slightly is bothersome.

when I hear streaming at friends houses, and female voices are just wrong, and we play their LPs they agree, I never thought about it, but could speed be an issue in streaming?

The streaming that sounded wrong, Eva, Ella, Nancy Wilson, I assumed it was just poor quality content.

I played a friend’s cartridge here, he didn’t know the proper settings, we had it wrong, same thing, female voices, i.e. Annie Lennox, ... just didn’t sound right. We both agreed my cartridge got the voices right.

I looked it up, found the correct settings for my SUT, he brought it again, all was right.

That had nothing to do with speed.

I can’t say it’s super accurate but the Grooved app definitely close and it is VERY easy and free. When I have a chance I will measure it against my KAB strobe and report back.  It’s nice because it listens to a record as it is playing and checks it’s pitch and tempo against standards (if I remember correctly). I’ll revert later this week with my accuracy check. 

To the other topic where this meandered, I agree that consistency is most important but if speed is off more than a little I tend to notice (not 33.1 vs 33.33 but generally 32.5 vs 33.3 as an example). I’ve played guitar and sung for many decades and have a pretty solid ear - not perfect pitch by any stretch but for music I know well, I can tell if it’s off even if it’s stable and it bugs me.
