This post is giving me all kinds of mixed emotions! Sad your belt broke, happy for your pending upgrade.

Darlington is on my list. I’d like tubes but am not going to short myself when I can do better without in that price range. It’ll be early next year before I decide what to do though. Then it’s a savings game for speakers.

It’s better than my Pluto but only a smidge.

Also, I don’t like the technics aesthetic and am too much of a grado fanboy to seriously consider direct drive.

I hear you @Yer Ol' Uncle D , and not remembering @Fleetwood-Matt ’s set up off the top of my head, but my speakers and my phono stage are the weakest parts of my system currently. I plan on getting those where I want them before getting another table. Stage is next (barring some incredible deal)

Before this new belt, I could pop it to and from with a finger while it was running. I have found this (their manual’s) way to be the most consistent way to get the belt on. When I am super frustrated, it can help to take the lever out.

I’ve never really had a problem with their belts in the past. The most recent one I got likes to fall off when I start a 45 record. Which is very fucking annoying. Especially when I am on like the fourth or fifth side of 45 since switching. I’m half convinced they sent me one for the new tables.
