I’ve recently put together a system in my study and am looking to add a turntable. I would like something classic - either an idler or direct drive. Possibly a Garrard 301.
One problem is that the room is upstairs and has suspended wood floors. Ideally I would want the turntable on a table/sideboard/rack rather than on a wall. In my past experience my LP12 hasn’t worked at all in such a setup - it tend to skip if you walk to closely or accidentally bang the sideboard.
So my question is whether an idler or direct drive turntable would be any better in this respect, and what, if anything, would work best?
