Just for kicks I went out and got some elastic thread, as my prevoius attempts to use silk and nylon thread resulted in lots of slipping.
Why do I even want to try this? Purely for said kicks. I'm just plain curious to see if I can actually hear any difference between that and my VPI belt; will something with less friction and surface area sound any different.
So, does anyone know of an elastic thread material that is the same tiny diameter as, say, silk or nylon thread ? (And don't say, "Yeah, man, it's called a belt.")
The 'table is a homebrew, with a satin-finished 70mm platter; the motor is from an older TNT.
Thanks,
Mark
