Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet

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.

I've never had that problem.

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).

Why doesn't the dealer contact VPI. The squeak is just the belt slipping for a split second. If the platter spins freely, than look at the motor. I too, use the ring and clamp with no issues. I have the speed controller and honestly can not tell the difference.
