where to start....

I'll start here, with your question.

Q : "Who says that the use of an idler gear is the preferred method to drive the platter of a TT and exactly why would they say this is so?"

A : I can't imagine who would say that, so I can't imagine why, either.

My post, on the other hand, was about feeble looking designs from risk-averse manufacturers who are nontheless attempting to jump on the vintage-idler thing --- BUT ON THE CHEAP.

While being careful to keep it (ineffectually, but still-- cheaply) within the purview of their existing topologies. Did we note that it's cheapest for them to approach it this way ?

Their offer of "How'd you like into buy a table using cobbled-together parts from our other existing lines ?--- Since it's a trend at the moment, we forced it into a box we'll feebly call idler or rim drive, while comprising no or hardly any investment on our part ?"

.... doesn't seem too convincing. In fact, it seems kind of condescending. To me.
