Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?

Simple question. I have a Classic table running with a single drive belt and see the Avenger using as many as 3. Anyone care to comment?

Once I get the new pulley, I will use the Fieckert software to compare the difference between one,two, and three belts.

I found an incremental improvement with 2 belts, but adding the 3rd belt did not make any noticeable change.
