Ultimate Idler Drive


I own several idler drive turntables-Garrard 301,401,501. Presto T-16, Thorens TD124 MkII, Rek-O-Kut L34.I own several DD too-TEAC TN 400, Technics SP10MKII, Monaco Grand Prix. I have to say though I heard the Saskia Idler drive TT at Oswalds Mill Audio the other day. Well if you havn't heard it you must. It furthers the art of turntable design beyond your imagination. I don't know many details, but I do know if you want rock solid music flowing from your speakers, so Louis Armstrong is actually sat about 12 feet away from you in your living room, this TT with an LP like "Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington For The First Time"|is the only way to go!
Maybe Jonathan Weiss, or the Winn Tinnon can tell us more details.

If you read the ads, EVERYBODY uses technology nobody else has. Every religion is the true religion.
Robyatt, I did go to their website and I did see that the prices of the products are in the gulp domain. However, I am not one to denigrate a piece of gear just because it costs a great deal of money. In fact, having read up on the rationale for the cable design(s), I am favorably disposed. i especially like their dedicated tonearm cable. But like many others, I am loathe to pay the price.
Robyatt: what ever happened to your 501/Saskia comparison? I would love to read your impressions. I have a SP10 mk3 with a Kuzma 4 Point and soon a Kuzma Airline. The 4 Point has an Ortofon MC Anna and the Airline is going to be fitted with the London Ref. I also have a Garrard 401 which is at the custom builders studio as I type this.
Robyatt, What on Earth are you doing ? Just kidding ;)
Please describe your current TT, TA and the best/finest cart you are running.
I have the Salvation direct rim drive motor with a dual layer very ´eavy soapstone deck + the Terminator T3Pro linear arm.
