The new VPI Rim Drive, turns the platter directly using time honored methods with space age parts and technology for a near perfect transfer of energy. The Rim Drive was created after listening to an old Rek-O Kut turntable using an idler rim drive and being amazed by the immediacy of the sound but not loving the associated noise that this system produced. By melding the old idler rim drive to the new VPI/HR-X dual motor flywheel we have produced a drive system with the immediacy of rim drive and the quietness and smooth rotation of belt & flywheel drive. The platter is driven by a silicone “O” ring on the circumference of a large wheel attached to the flywheel. The flywheel is a noiseless, cog free source of power and the rim drive transfers this power perfectly.
Advantages: The VPI Rim Drive improves pace, timing, spatial cues, noise levels, and image stability, while delivering deep, tight bass. For the first time you will hear bass from a turntable that sounds like it came from a master tape. Not only is it deep but it is fast with terrific punch.
