To me, a quality idler drive, or direct drive, is preferable to a belt drive.
You (or others) may disagree, but that is your prerogative.  |

Me too. Based on everything I've heard, belt drive is my least preferred option.

I spotted one of those super rare direct drive PT Exports on Ebay today. Possibly one of a kind - should have snapped it up. Ahem.....
Looking at the photos, I think there must be a lot of paperwork that comes with it. You know the original receipt, manual, quick start guide, safety instructions, all that stuff. Luckily, there was a big elastic band included in the sale which would be handy to keep all that stuff together. |

It amuses me to see what was considered "unworthy" in my youth to now be gaining "worthy" status, particularly on Ebay.
Celestion County speakers for example ? They were my first hi-fi speakers, and I thought they were great until I heard better. |

I once had a friend who had Wharfedale Linton XP 2 speakers.
But don't really like to advertise the fact.
