Re: direct-drive?: Without a doubt, idler-wheel drives...

Munna I think you will be pleasantly surprized by both the Lenco's
and the Rek O Kut's, I have a 401 but still need either a different power supply or a 60 Hz pulley, but have heard a friends 301 in his system, but obviously the difference in rooms and systems is going to mask all but the most obvious differences.
I recently Modded a Rek O Kut and was very surprized at just how nice it is as I'd read others opinions that they have inherent rumble problems, for whatever reason mine is wonderful, and I doubt it's an anomoly, as all I really did aside from putting it in a heavy Baltic Birch/MDF plinth and rewire the motor, and I did use a Sorbothane gasket on the motor mount was mount a Project 12c and an SME 3009 series III both sound incredible but very different as the SME is running an unbroken in OM 40 and the Project a VDH 103 unbroken in as well.
But the Rek O Kut has to be right up there in the same league as the Lenco's Garrards, TD 124's etc.
Lot's of Drive and slam ! and steady as the proverbial rock.
