Nothing special sir, wanted both flavours. So have a belt drive and direct drive.
But there are 'small and silly' reasons for both. . Vintage AR is always special to me and Bought Teac direct drive from OLX locally, but later discovered issues irregular speed etc. on it. So learned from pros like you and Shafiq from here and youtube and almost disassembled to scratch. Plus my daughter and I worked on putting vanir crafting on it. So thats little special to me.
To be honest, to me classics tracks sound best on belt drive. Dead accurate speed. I know it alot depends on cartridge too, but sounds good to me.
