A Dimes worth of Improvement

You're welcome.

The main problem could be the design flaw in the VPI SS weight. It’s completely flat on the bottom. Most records are raised in the center around the spindle area at about an 1 & 1/4"diameter. So the VPI center weight will wobble. I had mine machined for a recess. This cost me a little over 300 dimes.

Someone is probably doing it already, but it's $599.00.

come on guys this is a serious post. If you don't have a couple dimes go to the bank.

I'll sell you my "special" dimes for $50 ea...

unless you try it you don't know what you're talking about.  It costs 20 cents.   I got this from the Harry's section of the VPI website.   There are those who say that pennys are preferred....I found that dimes work best in my system.  No....one would think that 3 coins would be better, but no...2 coins does it.   In my system, it widens and deepens the soundstage...perhaps rolling off the low bass a bit - not not much.  I posted this because I share sound ideas....the choice to try is yours.

I think you're better off throwing those dimes into a fountain.

Three dimes in a triangle has got to be better?

A dime on the cartridge works better.

it's a hunk of -  heavy maybe stainless steel- that sits over the spindle when in play

I don't know what you're getting at here, but there is a big difference between a VPI center clamp and a VPI center weight.  Which one do you mean?
