I put the improved HRX style VPI feet on my super scoutmaster- levelling was easier and much more stable than the VPI standard cones. Sound also improved. This is an easy to recommend upgrade.
VPI Scoutmaster feet
To date, I've used the standard VPI cone feet on my TT to adjust for the slight level inaccuracy of the built-in shelf in my listening room. However, to level properly it left two of the cones toward what I would consider a bit of an extreme with respect to a decently firm contact with the TT.
Thinking of replacing the cones with the VPI flat feet. To those that have these, do they allow (and are they designed) to be used for levelling? I understand within reason; the amount of levelling I'm talking about is on the order of say 3-4 mm max or so.

The VPI feet you use, these are the mini-TNT replacement feet advertised on their website? I'm trying to figure how backing the 1/4-20 thread out of the base of the TT would make things any more stable than backing the same threaded bolt on the cone feet. A case of it just does? I had thought(and VPI volunteered to send me some)using washers of the same material as the top cone to maintain contact; thinking maintaining the contact of the body is critical for any. |
TT Weights makes totally awe inspiring feet for your TT. 1/2 inch of adjustment and they LOCK TIGHT. No candy a** foam here! Threads into your plinth like the VPI feet, but they snug up tightly. Then there is a rubber o-ring set into the base puck to add damping. As a bonus the o-ring keeps my TT from sliding around on the slippery Gingko platform. They are beautiful too. Here are a couple photos: base feet |
