String alternative for Eurolab TT

i have a micro seiko 1500 where the belt is similar to what you're describing. for years i have used dental floss. use a reef knot to tie it ( left over right and under, then right over left and under) this will never slip. in order to tidy the loose ends. i put a drop of loc-tite adhesive on the knot. let it cure and then you can trim the loose ends flush with the knot. it's worked for me for years now. hope it works for you. it won't cost anything to try it!

You can use almost any kind of string/line for that purpose. You will find that they sound different, and you can pick one you like. Common strings for TT use are silk bead cord, fishing line, cotton string.

Dear Hassel: Do exactly what Jofi already told you ( including a phone call to Hart ). Don't change for other type of string.
BTW, which is your cartridge/tonearm combo ?
Regards and always enjoy the music.

My tonearm is Scheu´s Tacco, which, according to a few analogies on the German Audio Analogue Forum, is close or as good as a Schroeder-arm, but much cheaper), the cartridge an Ortofon Venice - a MC created especially for the German market - going into a McIntosh C200

If your string is breaking off every few days, that should be because you have the tension too tight. You want the string tension to be able to give at least half an inch to 3/4 inch, maybe even an inch, when pushed with a finger. That should solve the problem. A standard noose knot will not give, nor will a reef knot, but the noose is much easier to make.
