| help noisy vpi motor It's definitely not the pulley, and the noise is audible up to three feet away. I'll check around for a motor, I'm afraid the SAMA will be out of my price range. Thanks for your help! Ben | |
| Importance of arm length? I like macrojack's idea of simply extending the current hole into an oval. Even if the base collar of the arm doesn't conceal the opening, I might be able to insert a larger (perhaps lozenge shaped) thin "washer" of some sort between the base coll... | |
| Importance of arm length? Three well considered responses, I thank you all. Though I was tempted to bid on a NOS AQ 6 tonearm on ebay this morning, I opted for patience and time to educate myself further on options. As far as I can tell (by photos) the table does not have ... | |

| the more bits the merrier? Thank you all for your VERY informative responses. I am glad you kept it simple, because if it was any more complex, I fear my brain may have exploded. Isn't it interesting how - in some respects at least - electronics mirror the instruments whose... | |
| Help w/ weird big-screen tuning issue? Hmmm...I have run the auto channel selection and it scanned through all the channels and didn't turn up the missing content, just confirmed what I found punching in channel numbers. I was definitely on the cable feed. Perhaps the tuner isn't wired... | |
| budget table brain buster thank you all for your input. consensus seems to be that I stick to what I have until I can afford a significant upgrade, so I'll probably do just that. | |
| solution for "popping sound" from tube amp? Thank you all for your responses. I have replaced the tube, and am now back in tune(s). Ben | |
| California Audio Labs CL-5 repair? Any suggestions for a multi-disc player. I don't want to spend a fortune, but with a decent system (Usher x-929 speakers, Sonic Frontiers amplification etc.) I would like something a cut above the big box store brands. Thanks, Ben | |
