    Thakker belt arrived and is about 2.5cm visually smaller.
    Fitted it and along with cleaning the belt contact areas the speed test give me an average of 33.48rpm, bit of a difference from 34rpm.

    You'd think a looser belt with cruddy contact points would be slower!

    And it will be marginally slower when a record is being played. Hopefully about right.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    On a belt drive the drag caused by the stylus dose have an effect with an app you want to get it to about 33.38, that 0.05 is approximately how much the TT is slowed down by drag
