HELP Musical Life basic Turntable

I just purchased a Musical Life Basic from a fellow Audiogoner and he's not including a belt with it. The table also comes with a RB 300 tonearm.

This table will become a member of my family of two tables, to be used primarily with an Ortofon 2M Black and BAT phono amp.

Does anyone have suggestions for a better tonearm and a type of belt to use with this table?

I have been googling for a Fortissimo, but not having much luck. As for a belt, I have heard mono filament works best with this table.....fishing line.

Try using a VPI Belt that's what I'm using and it works just fine. Good luck.

Should have gotten TW ACUSTIC!!

Sold the Musical Life, and bought a Bluenote Goldenote Bellavista with a brand new Soundsmith Carmen MI cartridge

THE OUTBOARD RECTANGULAR BOX TYPE MOTORS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS FROM THE START. THEY HAVE BEEN CHANGING THEM THROUGH WARRANTY WITH CLEARAUDIO MOTORS. MUSICAL LIFE HAS BEEN USING MANY CLEARAUDIO PARTS IN THEIR TABLE DESIGN. IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY BUY AN AC SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR DIRECTLY FROM A SELLER OR MANUFACTURER. ALL OF THESE MOTORS ARE STANDARD IN THE MODERN TURNTABLE WORLD AND YOU COULD LITERALLY USE ONE FROM ALMOST ANY TT COMPANY. ITS QUALITY MIGHT VARY THOUGH DEPENDING ON WHO MADE IT.
HERE IS A LINK TO EUROPEAN SELLER OF PARTS.
I WAS QUOTED $110 US FOR THE HIGH QUALITY PREMO TT MOTOR
