    Dont doubt the speed stability of the TTS-8000 at all but (audibly) better than an SP-10 ? - thats some statement.

    The SP10 is a seriously speced, highend broadcast tt as that was the intent and aim of Technics from the offset, it has superb / 'perfect' speed stabilty - I've heard Angus's.

    I'd guess that the SP-10 has better speed stability than my own quartz locked modded 1210 which is again 'perfect' to my ears, no hint of waiver or anything that ears would detect other than tight, pitch-perfect metronomic rhythm.

    I doubt very much that the ears would be able to discern one's pitch stabilty better over the other of either deck running without issue at original and correct factory spec'...

    The SP-10 is a very fine deck indeed but the best of its equivalent peer group ? I can't imagine that could be proved, or otherwise.

    Surely it ultimately doesn't matter, as long as we have the best that we can afford, that suits our requirements / ears / tastes / listening environment.

    Exactly ! SP10, TTS-8000, PS-X9, Pioneer P3, Trio L07 D and the other top DD's, High end Denon, Micro Seiki etc etc all quartz locked dd's where it's more a case of different in terms of sound rather than pitch stability being audibly better type thing in my view.

    It's like comparing exec / top Merc, BMW, Audi ... there all excellent high end cars, maybe a bit different if anything

    Wouldn't imagine there is a determinable difference between most of the higher end Jap DD's as Mr. Gong above says.

    Yet, apparently one has better speed, timing, etc blah blah

    They are both high end TTs and anyone who owns either are very lucky to do so.
