RE: Is belt drive really worth the extra $$$ ?

Hi,

I actually do have a Thorens 124MkI totally redone by Jim Campbell. After listening to it I too have come to the conclusion that I like idler drive more but that's not to say it is better than something else. I just like it better. I was just commenting on the fact of a belt drive done properly(as in the Walker TT)in reality nothing of any consequence even comes near the platter. It's almost as if it were turning on its own. How he was able to accomplish that is beyond me. It definitely has something to do with the weight of the platter and the fact that it is air bearing.
