Classic 3 VPI

My Classic 3"s belt squeals upon turn on.  After a couple of seconds, the squealing stops.  I've tightened the pulley, installed a new belt and did what VPI recommended, I powdered the belt.  After applying powder, the squeal quietened but squealed again on the very next try.  I reapplied powder and the same thing happened.  Any advice is welcomed.

I suggest running two belts in tandem.  With my Aries 3 I am running 3 belts - no start up issues or belt squealing.


The way to apply powder is put belt in plastic bag, shake in talc, seal and shake around.  Remove belt, blow off excess powder and install.

My VPI prime does the same thing, see the thread I put on VPI's general audio forum.

Use many belts - it will sound better too.
