Krell303, I don't have any issues with vibrations from the rimdrive belt or anywhere else. The 10.5i tonearm is rocksteady when playing an LP- no wobbling. I use no special care or tool when putting on rimdrive belt. Make sure there is not too much pressure from the rimdrive belt against the platter. When turning off motor the platter should turn approx. 1 turn before stopping completely.
VPI Rim Drive vibrations
I have VPI SSM with RIM drive and SDS. The issue I'm having is a vibration being transferred from rim to the desk/platter. As the result tonarm wobbles a little bit in azimuth plane.
I tried to replace the brownish rim belt, change contact force/distance between the drive and the platter, and reinstall the belt - the vibration still there (exactly one wobble per rim's full revolution - 360 degrees).
The speed stability is very good though - have checked it with KAB Speed Strobe.
Any ideas how to resolve the issue?
Thanks a lot!
