Some time ago I got uptight about the idea of long TT belts, and this is because I put a strobe on one, a long time ago, after I thought I "saw" it fluttering, out of the corner of my eye. Anyway, it did flutter, and a longer one we messed with had a fairly complex "flutter within flutter" pattern, in other words, flutter harmonics.
In the end, of course, it's all in the hearing (or not hearing). But as long as someone else does the work, it's fun to be "vindicated" about the 3-motor gambit, and I'm waiting to hear more about the "big motor" and "DC" stuff, too.
I've used a Sota drive belt for many years now, but there was a time when I only used silk thread or pro recording tape on my Rec-O-Kut.
