Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better


I was going to just add this post to a previous post regarding the VPI rim drive, but this is important and I want all those who use the new drive to know this. I just spoke to Harry W who told me that if you use sorbothane, or soft felt, etc, under the feet of the motor/flywheel assembly, the sound is even more improved. Don't use it under the turntable itself...only under the motors. I tried it and it REALLY works.

has anybody tried using BDR shelf for the source as one solid piece under the rim drive and TT? it is supposed to have 1/25 the resonnance of granite or something like that? anyone trying something other than cloud 11s? maybe this would help against vibration issues with the rim drive.???
Stringreen: i guess i misunderstood. if the feet of the rim drive are replaced with felt or sorbo and then sit the rim drive and the table on top of a bdr shelf and have this whole thing sitting on top of the pro 35 tt stand from billy bags. does this sound like it could work? what is your set up sitting on?
