Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401

My apologies, you are absolutely right sir and I stand corrected. 

Too late for this but I purchased the idler wheel manufactured by the Classic Turntable Company, they rebuild, service and make spares for the 301 and 401 just like Audio Grail. I have been buying spares from them for a while. [Classichi-fi-shop.co.uk]. $115 second day shipping.
Cheers,

I'm glad someone else revived this thread.  Up the thread, I wrote to Mozart: "Machining down the diameter of the idler would reduce platter speed."  Xactaudio seemed to disagree with me.  I am always ready and willing to learn if I made an error in abstract reasoning, which is entirely possible. I still think, all other things being equal, that an idler wheel of smaller diameter compared to original would cause the platter to travel a shorter distance for every revolution of the idler wheel.  Hence, the platter speed would be reduced unless idler wheel rotational speed were to be increased accordingly with the reduction in its diameter.  Am I wrong?  If so, I still cannot see it.

Lew, idler wheel size does not impact speed. The ratio of pulley to platter is all that matters. The speed of the idler changes but the other two stay the same.
