 The new VPI Rim Drive turns the platter directly
using ageless 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. The immediacy of the sound that this turntable
system produces is amazing. By melding, the old idler rim drive
to the new VPI/HR-X dual motor flywheel, VPI has 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. 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 a master tape. Not only is it deep, the Rim Drive
is fast with terrific punch.
