Thread about thread!

I've ordered up some EPDM belts to try on my VPI Aries 1 but in the meantime I've been reading around and someone mentioned silk thread so I've gone and done it. It's a clear improvement in transparency and for me, also in the bass. Noticeable improvement in a direct comparison. Crazy that a different belt can make so much difference.

Read good things about Dyneema. No belt drives over here but just something I noticed on a long Verdier thread one time...

Did you buy the belt or DIY it?
