| Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3 Good move. Harry recently told me that an Aries 1, like we have, would today be 8k to retail. He said it is as good as the Avenger. I have Ultra 5s attached to the plinth and Ultra Minis attached to the motor pod. Plus a 12" 3D arm. After living w... | |
| How effective is the ultrasonic V-8 lp cleaner? I have the V8 and it definitely works well. I usually clean between 4 and 8 records and run a 10 minute cycle. You have to be careful to center the records over the 4 ultrasonic modules so that the cavitation generated encompasses all the LPs even... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I was originally going to send this to Spirit in response to his post on 6-23-13 in this thread(see below), but thought there might be other Zu-ists that would benefit from an answer directly from Zu so am posting here.Spirit wrote:"My only tube b... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Was going to just send this to Spirit, but decided to post in case it helps the "group" of Zu-ists here.Spirit wrote on 6-23-13:"My only tube based reservation is that I'm not investigating OTL, and I don't know if this is a mistake. Sean Casey at... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? I, too, am intrigued to listen to my prototype Pre-One preamp and ZH-230 amplifier through a pair of Def IVs. Unfortunately, here in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota I am having trouble trouble finding a dealer or speaker owner where I could audi... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I joined this discussion originally to learn about the Def 4s and achieve an informed sense of whether or not they are on my short list. Hopefully, Sean is bringing Def 4s to Axpona as it will be my chance to hear them. Back around 1-28, Phil grac... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Phil - I am contemplating Def 4 and Sanders 10c. I ran Acoustats from '78 til '09. Currently using LaHave 2-ways with Seas drivers. Electronics: Berning ZH230 proto, Berning PreOne proto. The more I read the more I am leaning Def 4. Wouldn't have ... | |
| VPI Aries owners Replaced the stock plinth feet with Stillpoints Ultra 5s and the motor pod feet with Stillpoints Ultra Minis w/ 6/32 male stud. Transformed the table. | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? I'll resurrect yet again. I agree with those that believe that the VPI jig is a good tool poorly executed. Aligning the cantilever, for me, is the difficulty. But having fiddled endlessly with it, I have hit the nail on the head... finally. I don'... | |
| VPI Aries versus VPI Classic I have no direct experience comparing to a Classic. I would ask if the Aries has been upgraded in any way. My Aries has the HRX bearing, platter, the motor upgrade, SDS, Stillpoints treatment and 12.6 arm. I'd have to hear a Classic directly outpe... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Crem1 and Jahaira: Do you think it is possible to have to much pressure? Perhaps with the Monster 1200? Once up to heat and pressure, how much steam time do you get with the Perfection? | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Crem1: Checked out the Monster 1200 on the web site. Intriguing, but I think you could be more judicious with the cleaning fluids by applying them directly to the LP as you have always described. I am still going to try the Perfection first, hopin... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Stltrains: your response has given me the confidence to at least try steaming on the VPI. I have more questions.Do you use the Walgreen's steamer? How far from the LP do you hold the steamer? What nozzle are you using?TIA. | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Just saw this steamer. Appears close to the Mapleshade and other units mentioned regularly. Only $20.00 plus shipping. | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I have read this thread but still have some questions for Crem1. Do you begin your current steam regimen by placing the LP on your RCM with the jar remover covering the LP label? I believe it would be easier to control the actual steaming as the s... |
