After several months with the Verus on my Micro-Seiki RX5000 I noticed a rumble started to appear a couple of weeks ago and the motor felt as though it was hunting. I took it away from the platter while running and the vibration dissapeared - so it is an issue of motor-plinth interface. I sanded down the o ring and that did make a difference; but not complete removal of vibration driving this heavy platter. I also noted that the rubber had left an invisible deposit on the platter which requires removal to decrease vibration. You can play around with the torque adjustment and this does have a discernable impact on noise level.
As it stand the Verus is an upgrade for me over belt/silk drive. But I feel that the design is still either work in progress or requires user tuning and careful set up.
I have to say that the most dynamic sound still comes from a heavy plinth Lenco and a Technics SP10 in heavy plinth and with a heavy metal turntable mat is very lively and detailed as well.
