| How well does the VPI 16.5 work?? Before filing down the base of the tube, which may have been required in Rwd's case, check out the collet ring at the base of the vacumm post (not the tube). This ring has an allen set screw that you use to adjust the height of the vacuum wand whe... | |
| VPI Magic Brick or Webster's Dictionary Pickup one of those 10 lb. plastic covered dumb bells at SportMart. Just make sure to dust it once in awhile so that folks will think it gets some practical use. | |
| Off center stylus - Does this affect sonics ?????? If the stylus is not riding "straight", as it were, the cantilever itself is bent or the assembly to which it affixed is out of alignment. I have had experience with this on two occasions. Once associated with the former condition, a long time ago... | |
| The Best System In The World Rel-Thanks for educating those not realizing how to post links, instead of just telling them to do so. Someone helped me with this sometime ago. And thanks for those who do post links that also refrain from sending folks to applet links.Mike, hell... | |
| opinions on how to build a wall Turntable shelf Depends on the amount of rigidity you want and the permanence you can allow, in my mind.

| High Caliber DIY Speakers Butsy, and others, thanks. If I go this route, and given the time and care I'd put into the cabinets, these would be lifetime keepers, in one application or another! :-) | |
| 6922 vs. 6DJ8 vs,7308 I would caution against the over reliance on any "pecking-order" with respect to "good-better-best" with these tubes. Aside from synergy with particular components, there is variability between brands and even between types within brands. For inst... | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? Fatparrot - I recall that receiver, too. There is one of these on E-Bay right now for a current bid of 20 clams! | |
| High Caliber DIY Speakers Thanks, Clueless. I have seen the Orion mentioned elsewhere and from private e-mails. Mr. Linkwitz lives within an hour drive from me, so that would be a plus.I have a bit of trepidation with respect to the "open baffle" design. Unfounded concerns... | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? Albert, you likely also sold the Yamaha CR-620 (35 w/ch). I bought one new in 1978, for somehere around $325. It was, and still is, a workhorse. Used it in a two-channel system for some time, then used it in a modest HT system for five years. Now,... | |
