VPI noise problem


..sounds rhythmic and both the tempo and intensity increases when going from 33 to 45. It’s a Superscoutmaster with Classic platter, rim drive, new arm with 2nd pivot. Nothing visually seems rubbing, only occurs when cartridge is on the record.

Yeah....I found my problem.   Under the turntable, there is large bolt which holds the bearing in place.   I could turn it with my fingers...wrong.   I got my Channel Locks, and tightened it down.  Silence is golden.  Not only is the noise gone, but the air around instruments, solid lows, vocal clarity is enhanced.  Love when things work out.

Glad to read the issue is resolved!

@stringreen , glad to see this has come full circle for you and you are back to enjoying the music.

Just as a side note....VPI never got back to me,  If Harry were still in charge, there would have been customer support
