Captain winters, As you can tell, I am very satisfied with my purchase. These footers are great for VPI turntables. I will tell you they are different than the footers pictured on the site. Dan has not put a picture of the VPI specific footer on h... 
Where exactly do I add oil to VPI classic motor
Actusreus, I can respect your opinion and am greatful for the suggestions. I wasn't trying to discredit you or start an argument. With regard to removing the pulley, it is quite simple to do. It is only press fit onto the shaft. The tolerance is s... 
Where exactly do I add oil to VPI classic motor
I have found the brass piece that was mentioned in the instructions. It is a brass collar on the shaft that is hidden beneath the pulley. You cannot see it with the pulley installed. I will write out step by step below what I have done to lubricat... 
I would advise to avoid amazon for vinyl purchases
I will need to check out dusty groove. I am sure there are alot of good individual sellers on amazon. I am not bashing them by any means. I am just stating that I have not had good luck with LPs direct from amazon 
New terrastone footers and plinth for VPI classic1
I purchased these terrastone products based partly on your success stories stringreen. I read several post about bearpaws vs terrastone. Now that I have had a few more days to listen, the terrastone clearly outperforms the brass footer. The brass ... 
Where exactly do I add oil to VPI classic motor
Ok, I understand now. My "brass piece" is powder coated black on my table. There is no brass to be seen. They should have referred to this "piece" as the motor cover and that would have saved me alot of confusion. I will use the syringe method as ... 
I would advise to avoid amazon for vinyl purchases
The purchases I made were direct from amazon. I felt a bit safer buying from them rather than indiviuals. The few that I did purchase from individuals were shipped fine. The LPs direct from amazon were shipped in a box with packing peanuts. Just l... 
Where exactly do I add oil to VPI classic motor
The noise I am hearing isn't a wooshing sound. It is a ticking or a knocking sound. The sound isn't loud. I can only hear it when the room is really quiet. It reminds me of the sound of a self winding watch escapement. Just a very slight tick ever...

using a jumper cable - connect which set of post?
I can respect the point that it should make no difference at all. That is not what my ears are telling me though. Also, the fact that I am using the stock jumper cables that came with my speakers. I am not using a shortened piece of cable that is ... 
using a jumper cable - connect which set of post?
I have been running the direct connection to the low frequency post. I did try moving it to the high frequency post for a few days. It does seem a bit more detailed but also harsher as well. I have become accustomed to the sound from the low set o... 
Mint Best Tractor still in business?
I purchased a protractor from yip about 3 months ago. Yip is very knowledgeable and good to do business with. His protractors work great. My table sounds better than it ever did. Well worth the price 
Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad?
I have been down the dark path of japanese vinyl before. They are some of the best sounding albums I have. I thought I read somewhere that there is only one last pressing plant still open in japan. If that is true, this plant has amazing quality c... 
Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad?
After listening for a few more hours, the two pressings I mentioned above are quite good. I won't call them audiophile recordings by any means but, they sound really nice. A LOT better than the mofi pressing of sticky fingers and the abkco let it ... 
Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad?
I got a few new stones albums today. The first one is some girls live in texas '78. It is a double LP with an included DVD pressed on red vinyl. This is a new release on the eagle rock label. It is a remaster from the original multi channel tapes ...
