In Reply to: Why would changing the frequency... posted by travisty on April 24, 2011 at 21:13:54:
Flutter is measured at approximately 3k hz, just above the frequency of a female vocalist. It will correspond to the first dominant harmonic above what most instruments can produce. The industry picked this for a reason. Tape dropouts occur and they needed to have a frequency where they could easily measure in the harmonic frequency range of the sonics while ignoring the issues of tapeed analogue recording.
The fact is that the SL 1200 has world class wow and flutter measurements.
You and I might prefer a Denon DP 80 or DP 100 sonically but in the end they all have world class wow and flutter numbers.
