Alternatives to rubber band on belt driven turntables?
I've read a few discussion threads on the use of alternative materials as use for belt driven turntables.
I've also seen several high end decks using string to turn the platters.
one thread suggested polyester string used in textile manufacturing.
Another suggested using Daycron 30lb braided fishing line.
Both threads suggested a reduction in background noise and improvement in speed consistency. Another benefit was no marks left by the traditional rubber belts which I find on my motor spindle and subplatter.
Anyone try using alternatives to the rubber belts?
How do you tie them off so there isn't a knot rotating around your platter?
