I will crudely quote Edgar Villchur.

All unwanted aberrations in turntable performance must result from unwanted relative motion between the pickup cartridge and the record.
The job of the turntable is to stay out of the picture.
low rumble, wow, acoustic feedback and constant speed is all that it needs to do.

Is that true ? then we can measure any turntable and be sure we are getting everything from it we could want. Or is there more to it.
