I've been,purely theoretically, thinking if employing 3 idlers or even 4 to drive the platter into that magical
floating rotation would be beneficial.
Just like it is attempted in some belt drive designs.
Garrad 1001, EMT 5027,...?
N-set,

I do not where you see emotions and flames. I think you are confusing emotions and flames with a well-mature and very healthy hate. Anyhow, any online conversations are subordinate of the Godwin's Law. I prefer do not use the "reductio ad Hitlerum" as a final argument but to open my argument with this. :-)

Anyhow, regarding you idea of multiple idlers rolls. I do not now like it as much as I do not like the idea of multiple direct driver or multiple belts. I have expressed my arguments on the very same subject somehow in the site before, unfortunately the site is becoming large and I do not remember where. I do feel that the idea of the multiple drives is use explicitly for building up more expensive products – there is absolutely no theoretical justification for this with which I would  know and agree.  Suing it I am under presumption that there are no other then theoretical justifications of the multiple drive’s advantages or disadvantages. I do not feel that anyone anywhere conducted any methodologically-properly practical tests to assess the tangible results.
