The Ultimate turntable only needs to provide for one arm. The ultimate arm. Why compromise its performance with various inferior arm designs. I'm not sure that high mass is necessarily a good thing.  Yes it stores a large amount of kinetic ener...

Well, the "idle wheel" and “inertia ballast” ideas I do not think would be applicable to this case. I forgot to mention that both platters have high mass (42 and 62 kg) and therefore the normal worries that might apply to the belt topologies are not ...

Well, I think the larger then rational mass of “silent” TT platter eliminates all other moments. If you have a 150 lead-like platter then would it be direct drive, belt drive, or pinch roller would be absolutely irrelevant. The moment of inertia of t...
