I have found the whole thread very interesting (at least that that I've managed to find time to read. Haven't quite finished it all yet.) I'm one of those few who have preferred idler drive over belt and direct drive for over 30 years. I always thought I was the lone stranger on this, and maybe a bit crazy. It's good to feel vindicated. The heavy plinth idea is just icing on the cake, adding that last bit to make these old tables quiet enough to compete with everything a belt or direct drive can do, and be superior in many things. I seriously doubt if I'll ever bother with another turntable again, as this one is about perfect. I'll just play with different arms and cartridges.

Dave
