Auy one tired replacing the rubber belt with non-flexible nylon thread on TNT turntable?

What are pros & cons?

Any sound improvement?

Doug, what issues did you have with string drive silk thread and dental floss. Did you spend much time with either of those or was it quickly obvious vs mylar tape?

Thanks, TD
Years ago when the belt on my Aries broke I replaced it a double strand of 4 lbs test fishing line. I had to change the SDS settings but it runs like a champ. I have a super heavy clamp so I do give it a little push at startup.

Too lazy to try anything else...

You guys are describing why I gave up on belt-drive turntables entirely.

I don't understand your post. I set it up once over three years ago and a little push on a 1080 gram wright is no big deal. I not suffering at all, so what's your gripe and it's solution?

I have no gripe; as noted, I switched. I was only trying for a bit of levity. If you read what others have posted here and elsewhere about fussing with belts of various kinds, I hardly think you can deny that the belt per se is bothersome if one is a perfectionist. I do apologize, because my comment was OT.
