Beautiful table! I'd love to hear that rig with a Telos/Talea. Are they going to RMAF?
No, I'm not familiar. I've only owned direct and belt. How does an "idler drive" sound? Is this indicative of all idler drives?
I thought the "big sound' came from the cart/arm?
I am going to ask Christopher a dumb question but for the sake of many of us out here can you describe how an idler drive works and what are its virtues
Turntables, whether employing direct drives, belt/tape drives or idler drive based designs all can be brilliant when properly employed.
Too often advocates say one way or the highway.
I was wondering chris why you or how you even thought about doing a design like this? What advantages does it give the table over the conventional bearing? How much better does it really make as I am wanting to try it out?
But do they use them on Lencos or Garrads?

It is used on another rim drive table.

With kindest respect to Myles, :b for clarification and for those who may not realize, rim drive and idler drive are both different drive types in the context of turntable design.
I am curious how they differ other than semantics.
