?Sorry, misread. This is from the phone app's accelerometer measurement, with the ideal target being a perfect sine wave following the rotation of the platter.
The ideal is stable straight line at 33.333333 RPM. Not a sine wave.

What app are you using?Here's a comparison I just did of my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO ($600, though my version with walnut finish and acrylic platter runs a bit more) and my Technics SL-1200MK7 ($1100):

This was the best I could get out of the Pro-Ject over 4 runs. The Technics by comparison was the same every time.
Doh! I was in bed with my phone about turn off the light after watching a bit more of Netflix The Decameron figuring out the period and frequency from the graph in my head and thinking, "if it were eccentricity then it would be nearly 2 Hz." Good thing I didn't go into accounting.Not really. One revolution at 33.33RPM is 1.8s = 0.555Hz.
I’m actually looking at the Sonos Amp (I have a 30% off coupon) paired with a set of KEF Q350s (when they’re on sale again) once I have 1k$ burning a hole in my pocket (which I don’t have at the moment). However, I have a worry bead. The Amp did fairly well as a streamer when tested here on ASR, but it did not fare as well as an analog source (which I’d need for my TT)… So I’m on the fence.Sonos person here. I don’t have any Sonos speakers in main listening areas, but I have two Ports and thinking about a third.
If money isn’t tight, get a Port as your distribution hub.

As always, the hard questionsThe Technics honks almost never bring up the tonearm on these things. As great as DD can be, the Technics tonearms is an average performer. I'll take a Rega arm all day every day over the clunkers installed on Technics decks.
What’s the thing with the TriPlanar arms? They look different but is that it?Hmm. I dumped a TriPlanar in favor of EPA-100 and 500. Honk honk.

That's interesting and counterintuitive from an engineering point of view. Can you point me to the source?As an example, real measurements shows that the Rega integrated headshell is worst than a decent separated headshell
Yeah, I buy nothing you just said. Technics is still outfitting their new and VERY expensive machines with bog-standard blunt-force tonearms. Too many of their models come (standard!) with wonky poorly cast/machined/finished strobe dots that make it appear the platter wobbles.Technics honks aka informed people
All the bull**** marketing European belt drives brands made on 70s and 80s against Technics was the origin of (still) actual disinformed opinions.
As an example, real measurements shows that the Rega integrated headshell is worst than a decent separated headshell. Or you can try to walk in a wood floor with a Rega and a Technics TT playing.
Ok, that's honking (???), but is the same with tubes, amplifiers ... even with the media itself. Many times, distortion sounds "better", so that Rega tts sounds more "organic/warm/natural" and all the audiophile dictionary.
I prefer Technics because is one of the more precise devices to play records, at any price level, from the 1200s to the incredible sp10 or the new sp1000.

It gets ridiculous and your statement above about headshells is clearly a ridiculous statement.
It isn't my statement ... and is ridiculous why? Because YOU (or what Rega marketing) say it?
It is that? Then open your mind with the real data I sended or show me your data. That's all, without personification.
That's science my friend, I have zero interest to a "headshell war" ... I need the time to listen to my technics tts ... LOL
Um yeah, you provided nor sended zero data, but apparently whatever you're asserting is "science my friend" so there's that.
To you I say...uh huh.
In what way exactly are they bog-standard blunt-force tonearms? Care to elaborate?Technics is still outfitting their new and VERY expensive machines with bog-standard blunt-force tonearms.
