WT Simplex Belt

You have to tie them at the exact right length, otherwise they will not work well. I made a jig with a piece of wood, a nail, and a push pin. The manual gives you the distance for the nail to push pin span. Use the same material, which is like $5 for a mile of it. I've tried the others and nothing worked as well at holding the knot. If you mail a self addressed stamped envelope to WT USA they will send you free ones with their belts for life policy. Unfortunately you'll be doing this a lot if your belts break as often as mine did.

I have a WT Amadeus Mk.II for several months now, and have yet to break a belt.I use this turntable everyday. I was concerned about belt breakage also, but to date I have had no problems.

Count me in as one of the fortunate ones. I have two Amadeus tables, a standard and a GTA. I've only changed the belt once or twice in 3+ years on the standard. Never on the GTA, but it is still less than a year old.
