Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?
My table is a VPI  Prime and just added a Single Motor Flywheel Assembly that comes with the HRX  pully already installed. Might also mention that I have the SDS speed controller which you will need to switch speeds otherwise you are limited to 33... 
Product to sit between turntable feet and wood rack

What is the most important component in your system.
It has to be my Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe preamp, it sets the stage for everything else. I have always felt that the preamp, which ever one you settle on is the most important piece of the puzzle, get it right and things start to fall into place. 
Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable
