| VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off I get this as well on my Scoutmaster. I just turn off my phono pre between record changes to avoid the problem. | |
| reel to reel Have an Otari MX5050 II B, a Technis RS1500US and a Tascam 3340-S. The Otari plays both NAB and IEC EQ'd recordings, the Techics is an NAB only deck. Both are half track recorders with quarter track play heads for playing commercially recorded tap... | |

| VPI cork Mat The VPI cork mat is for their Record Cleaning Machines not their turntables as far as I know. | |
| Opinion on Nakamichi azimuth tape decks please The Dragon, and I think the 1000zxl or xzl or whatever it was called also had the auto azimuth adjustment for playback. I use a dragon myself for cassette transfers, but on occasion I've come across a tape that will have not enough in the treble r... | |
| Good cartridge for playing rock http://www.cartridgedb.com/docs/shure_v15vxmr.pdfIf you are using the stabilizer set to 1.5-1.75g if not set to 1.0-1.25g | |
| Help VPI turntable hummmmmmm I had hum with the same TT and cartridge. I had the ground wire running to my Ph3d phono stage. I disconnected the ground wire, and the hum went away. | |

Probably the best moving magnet cartridge value out there. What I may do is buy a M97XE which is priced under $100. It uses an elliptical stylus. I'll e... | |
| Difference between micro line and gyger s stylus To add more info: the best cart I had owned in the past that played styrene without any damage was the shure V15Vxmr and that uses a microridge stylus. | |

| Difference between micro line and gyger s stylus The "donut" 45's I'm referring to were mainly made in the 80's. They were more like hard plastic than soft vinyl. RCA, A&M, Columbia/epic/CBS, Casablanca, and a few other labels used it. The needle would litteraly tear up the record as it play... | |
| Difference between micro line and gyger s stylus Wow, thanks for this Jcarr. I've always wondered why some of my carts seem to destroy styrene 45's and others do not. Shame because I've ruined a few great 45's using a dynavector 20XL while the Shure V15V I used in the past would not. Had no idea... | |
