Using the VPI SDS with non-VPI turntables
Not clear to me what you're asking, but the Lenco is indeed an idler drive turntable. 
Using the VPI SDS with non-VPI turntables
Okay, I just took the plunge and plugged the Lenco into the SDS. After listening to tracks from about 6 LPs, all I can say is that I wish I had tried this about 6 months ago. I've used the SDS for a couple of years with the VPI TNT, but I'm afraid...

Thanks, Rushton. I also found out that it's an AC Induction motor. I'll mate them up tomorrow and see (hear) what happens. Dave 
best threads out there?
First and foremost, IMHO, "Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot (sic)". Over 1300 posts and still going strong, because it has an incredible wealth of good info. Check it out in "Analog." Dave

You need to listen to the Gallo Reference 3s. 
Gallo Reference III Owner's: Quick Question
I envy you the amp (I have the speakers) but think you'll have to try the two approaches and see what sounds better. I would guess that using interconnects (to the SA amp) would sound better, but it's JUST a guess. Good luck, DaveBTW, I used HSU s...

RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide
Just another rave for AIVS which, IME, leaves absolutely nothing on the stylus that I can detect. I've now done about 75 records with the stuff using a manual Record Doctor (Nitty Gritty) RCM, and find it really amazing. Caveat: I've never tried R... 
Large sweetspot
Gallo Reference 3. They disappear totally and despite their relatively small size will carry a large room (mine is 18 x 40) beautifully. You can drive them with pracically anything -- I'm using 12 wpc SET monoblocks. Hard to beat at $2600/pr.
