Looking for a toothed belt kit, any opinions on what's best and for the nicest sound?

The nicest sounding one is the one that makes the least noise mate. Noise comes from poor contact belt/pulley wheel design. If it's noise that floats your boat though, then anything that uses a square tooth belt/pulley will do the trick. The PSD kits are quieter,more reliable from what I have heard and unfortunately as rare as hens teeth. Keep your eyes on the for sale section.

You haven't heard the Bartek offering then? It goes from a growl to a howl; add an R1 and you have to wear earplugs. I'm happy with my PSD.

I had a bartek kit with a full blend and found it fine not quiet by any means but not loud enough for ear plugs
