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.

pbnaudio,

The use of multiple belts would seem, on it's face, to not be a good idea. Connecting the motor to the platter more, thus transferring the vibrations?

Since the Classic 3 has an on-board motor, this may not be an issue and in fact help to dampen the motor vibrations?

Have you actually tested this in some way or is this based on listening? Thanks.
