| Weird issue with my VPI... please help "........It almost sounds like the phase is shifting, like it's not playing one channel consistently. Just happened to play Dream On by Aerosmith and a guitar lick that I know very well that is localized to one channel wasn't even audible. It trul... | |
| Directional interconnect cables I see the OP hasn't been back to his own thread..... Have to agree with Tvad's bar discussion comment......If you hear a difference, then great. Put the damn cable in the way it sounds best, to you, and enjoy the music.. | |
| Directional interconnect cables Kijanki"..... wires are diodes....."Wires are NOT diodes. If anything, they are capacitors, either shielded or twisted pair.I believe some people may hear a difference when the cable is reversed. This doesn't mean the cable is directional. It mean... | |
| dead quiet Stringreen,While I agree with basically everything you have said on this issue, I have to inject something here. Unless, the performance is TOTALLY played acoustically, ie no amps, PA, etc., hum and noise are part of the original event. 100,000 wa... | |
| LP shipping Don't feel bad Shaz. I just ordered 4 LP's today....... NOT, from the same source...... | |
| LP shipping I just received this from.................. yikes....."I sent your replacement in a pizza style box with some bubble wrap......" | |
| LP shipping If they are packed properly in the media mail "boxes, with the correct amount properly cut cardboard to fill up the box, there shouldn't be a problem. On the other hand, if someone just throws it in a large box with peanuts, well....... And I agre... | |
| tonearm geometry question Marty,I believe you're missing the forest because of the trees. A radius is not a radius. A 9" radius is not the same as a 12" radius. They are both arc's, but not the same. You keep saying "the particular radius tracked by an LTT". A LTT has no r... | |
| LP shipping Az,We'll see..... | |
| LP shipping DG,I like that idea....... "tell you what, I won't mention your company's name on Agon if you send me a VPI Scoutmaster, no charge".......... :)Think it'll work? | |
| LP shipping Well, I did mention this to them and they are sending a replacement. I have a RA #. We'll see how the next one comes... | |
| LP shipping I doubt it was mirror flat to begin with, but...... who the heck packs LP's for shipping that way? Well, we know of one source that does.......The VPI is somewhat tempting, still not sure about the unipivot..... so is a Sota non-vacuum. I say non-... | |
| tonearm geometry question Marty,"For any length tube it would seem that the geometry is the same (save the headshell offset), no?"I don't follow that. A longer arm will have a larger radius. The larger the radius, the less the tracking error/distortion between the null poi... | |
| Spades or bananas connectors? I use bare wire ends..... | |
| Directional interconnect cables To try to get back to the OP's original question. It's not that the wire itself is directional. It's the assembly of the cable as a whole. Some cables have the shield terminated at both ends. Non-directional IMO. Others, have the shield terminated... |
