Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?

Simple question. I have a Classic table running with a single drive belt and see the Avenger using as many as 3. Anyone care to comment?

The platter was much lighter. I have not tried it on my Classic. I am interested in the 3 belt because I am going to build a table and wonder if 3 belts is worth the effort?

The table is shown with 3 belts. https://www.musicdirect.com/turntables/vpi-avenger-standard-turntable

I'll call Music Direct today and get one. I already have several belts so I don't need them. What table are you using the multiple belts on?

Once I get the new pulley, I will use the Fieckert software to compare the difference between one,two, and three belts.
