I think belt drive is flawed design solution.
I had Nottingham Spacedeck for many years, and when I compared it to my friend Lenco L75 on piano music It became for me very clear how much Nottinham ruins rhythm and pace of music interpretation.
Since that time I became belt drive hater.
Belt drive transforms Classical piano music or other music with very fine sense of rhythm like Modern Jazz Quartet to unconnected set of sounds.
I know many audiophile people don’t care about it. But for me fine rhythm nuances are important.
