Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet


They were supposed to be shipping soon. Has anyone purchased this table yet?

If there was a delay, it was less than a second, the platter pretty much started spinning almost right away and got up to speed within a few second.
The delay is sometimes more than a few seconds. Sometimes it wouldnt even start at all!
The dealer told me that the TT pulley is for 50hz which is incorrect & it needs a 60hz pulley. The electricity is 60hz.
Therefore, would this account for this circumstance ?
The dealer is a bit frustrated -glad its not my TT.
Nolitan, I think your dealer's TT definitely has a problem as what's happening is not normal for the Classic. Mind you, I am using VPI peripheral ring clamp with upgrade center weight which also add significant weight to the platter as well and it always rotates pretty much right away everytime.
Nolitan...it sounds like your dealer needs to attach a transformer to the motor. Where are you located? Or your dealer can order a motor that is designed for your local electricity standard: 110-120V/60Hz (US standard) vs. 220-240V/50Hz (European/Asian standard).
