VPI TT Belts


Has anyone tried something other than the black belt that comes with your VPI TT? If so what and what were the results?

A question to those above that responded.
I tried a nylon thread belt on my super platter/TNT table.
I hoped for super stability over the rubber belt but the sound became greatly tilted toward the highs, almost no bass or body, also playing just one LP produced a lot of static all about the platter, spindle etc. I am sure the thread was not slipping, otherwise my system/table, LP surfaces are dead quiet.
I use an SDS with the KAB strobe.
There's been lots of discussion on this topic. You may want to search for it here and on other forum's as well. However, I think the prime consideration is to find a string/thread that does not stretch and that has minimal or no slippage. Dental thread is commonly suggested.

There was also a link to a site that showed how to best tie the knot to avoid a bump when going round the pulley.

I use two VPI belts, the original white and the newer black.
Two seem better than one.
Anyonelse tried extra belts on the Scout etc?
