Why should it be so expensive of complex of even simple and cheap $100 turntables already produce speed stability that is order of magnitude more stable that it is imaginable to hear.

Teh caT

isn't that a bit too fast & similar to saying that obtaining an incredibly low THD way below the hearing limit is possible with a cheap $100 transistor amp?
ok, but under which conditions? dynamically, with real life signals and loads?does it relate to the sound in any way?
not that i'd ever try to defend 100$k or whatever mastodonts, and not that i really have much experience with analog, but
let me point out that the force injected by the needle moving through a groove can apparently be quite substantial
(loud passages etc) dynamically slowing down the plate. if i were anywhere close to desing a TT (not in this century for sure)
i'd not underestimate it. heavy plate seems a safe starting point?.
