Is a bit of vibe normal on the raptor? I’m not used to having cheaper metal throws so I’m not sure if vibe is normal for the raptor. ---

Mine has a little vibe, but nothing that I have any concern over. Other than that, this is a fantastic no-frills deisgn, well worth the money and a great player. ---

Mine has a little vibe. Without caps, its vibe less on grinds, but when caps are in, its vibe less on the string, but heavy vibe on grinds. ---

If it’s vibing on grinds, there is vibe, you just aren’t noticing it until you’re doing grinds. In my opinion: ain’t nothing wrong with that in my book! ---

My Raptor had a bent axle once, caused massive vibe, but in between the vibrations was this strange quality I can only describe as float. Now I fixed it and there is no more vibe or float… Which is good?
