Timlub made by far the most intelligent post here. It is all about implementation.
In terms of belt drive - try and find a Townshend Elite Rock. I have one, although I have added an acrylic platter, origin live belt, DPS motor/pod, and a custom built two phase power supply.
I think that the trough on the Townshend is perhaps one of the most fundamentally brilliant things I have encountered ever on a turntable. I personally have hear d a few Townshend Decks and all are cut from the same cloth and are at times CD like in regards to neutrality, but they are never cold.
