| Attachments for a Nad M51? New to Digital. Probably the HDMI on both units. The NAD is unique in that it can take convert the SACD thru the HDMI input with excellent results. You can play CDs, DVDA, and SACD. I believe there are two HDMI inputs as well, so you can use the other for your sa... | |

| Most enduring audio purchase VPI HW19 Mark II bought in 1988 with SME IV arm. Recently upgraded the bearing and platter with Mark V. Think it's competitive with many new tables.Oh, and still have my Oracle carbon fiber record cleaning brush. Will it ever wear out? | |
| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Thanks to all for the responses. My issue with slowing was solved by a couple of drops of super glue on the spindle which bound the pulley securely--that was where the slipping was occurring. If that didn't work, I would have had my machinist dril... | |
| WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VPI ?? Figured it out with the help of Larry at Hollywood Sounds. The pulley would heat up and then begin slipping on the spindle. Two drops of Superglue solved the problem. Highly recommend Larry! | |
| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Well, I made the upgrade--had the acrylic/steel chassis drilled out to accept the new bearing.Everything seems to work fine (better) except after playing one side, the platter slows and pitch changes. Any theories as to what's happening? Is the be... | |
| WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VPI ?? I hoped a VPI expert might have a solution to my issue. I just upgraded my HW19 Mark II with a TNT Mark V platter and bearing. I think I have it pretty well sorted out except that after 20 minutes, the platter slows as evidenced by the pitch chang... | |

| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Rpfef--Just got the VPI isolation upgrade suspension kit from Elusive Disc. Think they have more in stock. BIG difference! $50.Markshvarts--I have the stainless steel and acrylic sub chassis and I doubt it will bend with the weight of the Mark V. ... | |

| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Mofi--John from Audiogon--not sure of his username--has pointed me to an ad for a VPI TNT Mk5 Platter and Mk5 Stainless Steel bearing/spindle. I believe it will fit my HW19 II and he suggests it as a major upgrade. I'd be interested in your opinio... | |
| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors I wish I could find the Sims Navcom Silencer you reference. I think it would help but seems like they no longer manufacture them. | |

| Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth Mcslipp--would love to hear your system! Sounds wonderful. I think the Luxman 505-ux is a very good match with Harbeths although I have heard the Line Magnetic tube integrateds perform very well with them--I was pleasantly surprised because of the... | |
| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Mofimadness--I bought a VPI HW19II with an SME IV arm in 1989 (I think). I started listening to it again after a hiatus and replaced the belt, oiled the bearing, replaced the original van den hul cable with a cable from ZU audio (trying to work on... |
