The second review says the idler drive “frees” one from the “problems of direct drive”. That’s a new idea to me for sure. I wonder what those problems are, in comparison to idlers. In neither review do we get a same tonearm, same cartridge comparison of the two idlers. However I think you can’t go terribly wrong with either the Garrard or the PTP, but I’d choose the PTP with motor controller and big bearing.
PTP Audio vs Garrard 301
Hello,
May I ask for thoughts for those of you who have experience regarding the PTP Audio Solid vs professionally refurbished Garrard 301?
Thank you!
