Having had several different kinds of turntables, I can report that idler wheels do get hard and/or flat and give distorted results as in the strip, belts are more likely to crumble and/or break, resulting in no rotation at all. (Personally, I believe that direct-drive turntables are more susceptible to the transmission of motor vibration, so I prefer the belt drives and sprung suspensions of my old AR turntable and my current Systemdek II.

Oh baby, this town rips the bones from your back
It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we’re young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

It’s better to have a direct drive turntable.
