Press the power button on the motor. Sit down and enjoy listening to your records!
General Use
Allow at least 20 hours of break-in time.
The motor will make some low-level noise. This will not get into the system. The motor and
bearings will become quieter as you use your Prime. Place the motor on a mouse pad for
better isolation if this bothers you.
If you notice hum in the system, remove the turntable to phono section interconnects and
replace them with very cheap, standard VCR interconnects. These are well shielded and
should eliminate the hum. If the hum goes away, get quality, well shielded interconnects.
After at least one year of use the platter bearing should be re-lubed with PTFE super grease.
The motor will need to be lubricated with 1 drop of 40-weight motor oil below the black drive
pulley and right on the brass piece.
You can experiment with mats but you need to adjust the VTA setting when doing this.
Additional Items Available from Your Dealer
The VPI Synchronous Drive System power supply provides a major increase in musicality by
feeding the 300 RPM AC Synchronous motor with a pure sine wave of the frequency selected.
It is hundreds of times more accurate than the power company and will let your motor run
cooler and at the exact right speed from microsecond to microsecond. A plus is it will allow
electronic speed change and will count the hours of use so you know when your cartridge is
getting old.
