    A good idler needs probably less attention than a belt drive turntable. That's why there are still many pretty old good ones about. Mind you, either are easier to sort than direct drives when there's a problem.

    My thoughts also, being biased as I am, looks a great buy, and leaves a lot of cash for a really nice MC...
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
