New VPI


I just received my MusicDirect catalog and noticed a new beltless rim drive from VPI. It looks like an "add on" to any VPI table with an outboard flywheel and is standard on the new VPI Reference Super Scoutmaster TT.
Is this belt-less approach similar to previous approaches to drive the platter? (e.g. idler wheel?)
Any info/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

I almost bought a Teres, but seeing how much adjustments one had to do as every LP was played, broke the deal.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I have used the same mylar belt on my Teres for about two years and have never had to adjust it in any way.

Belt slips= timing inaccuracy. Must then readjust belt, or string.

Again, I've never had to do this over two years of regular use.
