I've seen people putting Graham arms on humble Lenco idler wheel drives so why not put a Schroeder on a gorgeous 401 like this one. A big idler well set up can take any arm. The use of a separate arm pod should help bringing the noise level down. Nice plinth too. I also experimented with a variac on my Lenco, i went down form 230V (Europe) to ca. 120, then i heard the motor running almost quiet. At the expense of torque though. Please report back on your findings comparing the 401 with the Technics 1200 etc.
Since you're an expert on classical music i wonder how the idler compares to a good beltdrive when it comes to reproducing classical/opera/chamber music. I tend to use my TD125mk2 for classical.
