Ok, VPI owners. I purchases a 45 rpm album, so I could see what all the fuss was about. I have to say, the sound quality is easily as good as and possibly better than anything I've heard on my system. The sound quality is like the recording chain has been removed and the players are right here. The album is Savivity by the Anthony Wilson Trio. As far as the music, it is very technical, but not the type I listen to much.
Anyway, here's the problem. When I move the belt to the larger diameter spindle and press the start button there is a little squeek as the spindle slips on the belt for just a split second. I didn't move the motor, I just stretched the belt that little extra distance. Should I move the motor a little closer to the turntable? A little further away? I sure wouldn't want to do that every time I decided to listen to a 45 rpm record. I'll go experiment, but thought I'd ask for advice from the vinyl lovers on this site first.
