Please help Problem with Rega P3 belt "rolling".


So this past week I treated myself to a brand new Dynavector 10x5 cartridge and a new belt. Now the belt "rolls" and every few rotations snaps back into place causing an audible pop. It isn't slipping but rolling. It actually moves up the rotating spindle slowly then all of a sudden jumps lower causing the pop. The shop where I got this from has never heard of this and I even went to another shop with the belt to see if I could recreate the act there to no avail. This rules out the belt so I'm at a loss. Anyone? I was going to have a few friends over tomorrow for a listening session but this changes eveything.

Are you sure the platter is seated correctly? It may be sitting a little higher than it should-a fraction of an inch will cause the belt to climb.
