Can you take a picture of the belt pulley on your Pabst motors?

I wanted to see if you could substitute upholstery thread for the belt drive.

I found that eliminating the belt reduced the noise floor to basically zero. Talk about low level details. I can hear the angular relationship of an instrument to the microphone. If the instrument sways or moves while being played I can clearly hear this detail.

Fun stuff....like being at the recording session.

Perhaps you can have all that awesome prat and a dead silent background all at the same time.

Thank you Mosin for the upholstery thread idea. Not sure who first tried this but damn it really does eliminate motor vibration from the platter in substantial ways.

Cheers!
