| Get Stoned No, it's cool, but I need at least some plausible explanation why this should make a difference. Otherwise, I'll just attribute it to your subjective perception and pass. I believe any effort at improving the sound of one's system with auxiliaries... | |
| Get Stoned I replaced the stock VPI feet on my Classic with the Bearpaws and I do like the improvement so I would not question a further improvement with the Terrastones under a turntable. However, Terrastones under the SDS, which simply regulates the power ... | |
| Get Stoned Same question as was asked in the Omicron footers under the SDS thread: under what theory would and should any footers make any difference? | |
| Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP I'm also a bit confused why Yip asked you for the P-S distance as the Classic protractor is surely one of his most popular protractors. I ordered mine over two years ago, and at that time there was some confusion as to the P-S distance as VPI does... | |
| Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please I think close to $1,000 for a used record rack is nuts. You can get a decent equipment rack for that money. In addition, thin and cold metal just does not seem right for the warmth I associate records with. But to each their own. My Expedit is not... | |
| Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please Another vote for the Expedit. Can't be beat at the price, and it looks much better than metal shelves, imo. Mine has served me very well for over a year now. | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? I have a 24-year-old female friend who is mesmerized by the sound of my analog system and the whole experience of listening to records. It of course helps that I have a dedicated listening room with $$$-worth of equipment (by non-audiophile, not b... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Well--Raul brought this up from Fremer's review--how about the fact that most records are punched off center? In a way it's almost too funny - you have a piece of equipment costing as much as a high-end sports car only to use it to play records th... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review One must wonder what Fremer does to the equipment he tests. I find it puzzling that so much of the equipment he reviews tends to break or malfunctions so easily. Didn't he destroy one of the darTZeel monoblocks he reviewed a couple of months ago s... | |
| VPI Customer Service Stewart, First of all, congratulations on your Classic 3. It will provide you with much satisfaction and enjoyment for years to come. Now, to the best of my knowledge, VPI does not sell direct so I'm a bit unclear what you mean by saying your Clas... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question I think I might have outsmarted the scale! I placed the stylus on the weighing spot and then turned it on. It showed 0.000 grams as I expected, but when I lifted the tonearm, it showed a negative reading of...1.778 grams! I repeated the procedure ... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Al,I thank you for the good night's sleep I'm going to get tonight :) | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Al,Thank you for your plausible hypotheses. Something tells me you're probably right, as usual, if not about both, at least one of them :) Now the question I have to ask: can any of this be harmful to the cartridge? | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Hey John,You're absolutely right. In retrospect, I wish I had not written the passage about tracking as closely to 1.75 g as possible. The main impetus behind my original post was the concern about the accuracy and reliability of the scale and mea... | |
| New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks I got a confirmation from Rogue that the KT-120 should be biased at 40 mA in the bigger Rogue amps, not 35 mA. |
