I have a 1 month old VPI Classic turntable and whenever I turn it on I hear a grinding noise. Speed is stable and there is no noise once the platter is moving.
When you turn it on: is it before the platter is up to speed and stops as soon as it is speed stable? Then "IF" you 'help' the platter: that is: start the platter spinning with your hand, just before turning on motor. Does it make noise then?
