'I am not going into the belt drive, direct drive, idler drive argument'
The Nottingham low torque approach is the opposite of a high torque idler or direct drive. This approach prioritizes the minimizing of vibrations from the motor to the record surface> signal path, and that can be measured. What I learned/realized when listening to a high torque system like Garrard 301/401 idlers is that there is some resistance being put forth by the grooves countour and pushing the transducer through it makes a huge difference- the timing and 'continuity of the tones/notes is completely retrieved, the intention, emphasis, touch, rhythmic and pulse information is unlike what I heard from belt drives. That is where the music is to my ears. True they are not as quiet, but that is a trade off I am happy to make. D yourself a favor and go listen to a Shindo or even a Loricraft restored Garrard, for me there was no turning back.
