The mechanical advantage is the simple ratio between the driving pinion (pulley) and the driven platter. This we also see in a belt drive system. The "benefit" of using a simple transmission, such as in an idler driven turntable, is in the resistance to the minute slowing action caused by modulating stylus drag. This is why idlers tend to offer a more dynamic reproduction. Just like the transmission in your car when in first gear, it only wants to go forward.
