Gopher,No luck whatsoever in locating replacement connectors for the umbilical DC power supply. It may be necessary to replace both the female (mounted on the chassis) and male connectors with one of the Cardas or other manufacturerÂ’s parts.I will... 
Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE?
The MKII replaces & upgrades the SE. Read email sent to me by distributor:"There are two major changes. One is that old integrated RCA terminals are changed to independent better RCA terminals, then there is more space between the terminals fo... 
Anyone try the Jasmine LP2.0SE?
KCC 123,I switched out the AC power cord before I ever plugged in the Jasmine LP 2.0SE. As to the DC umbilical, I am still looking for a source for upgraded connectors - the wiring with silver would be a snap. Do you know of a connector source?Chr... 
VPI JMW 12.5 replace tonearm wires
I, too, used BritAudio for their Cardas wire + Cardas clips on my 12.5. They did an excellent and fast turn-around including braiding the wires for the entire length of the run – within the arm as well. As for doing it yourself, there is a device ... 
VPI TNT Super Platter
The 25lb SuperPlatter has been discontinued. The 30lb SuperPlatter is still available. However, the 30lb SuperPlatter comes with the larger bearing and will consequently require drilling a larger hole in the plinth to accommodate the increased dia...

Mint Protractor for VPI JMW 12.6 tonearm
Just tell Yip at Mint LP to use the same geometry that I provided him for the JMW 12.7i tonearm. The 12.6 & 12.7 use the same geometry. The 12.5 is a longer arm. Here are the 2 links you need. This project took me a month to complete.Geometry ...

Service Von Schweikert?????
Albert can be a bit of a character, but once he gets involved in solving a customer's problem things progress quickly.To the point: I sent the top sections of my VR4 II-SE's to Von Schweikert for an upgrade package they were offering some time ago... 
The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close
The legend of Andrew Singer's arrogance is founded on fact, not just myth. Some years ago, upon delivery of a new Conrad-Johnson Premier 17LS Mark 2 from Sound By Singer, I found a cheap black plastic OEM remote inside the box - not the C-J metal ... 
Cleaning a VPI Super Platter?
Panel Magic (PM10) is available at Ace Hardware 
Cleaning a VPI Super Platter?
I have the 25 pound SuperPlatter and have used plain old blue Windex. I dust the platter first, and then spray the cloth - not the platter - and all is well. A stubborn thumb print may require a second cloth/spray procedure.Hope this helps,Christo... 
VPI service problems
Charhas,I did not offer a lifetime warranty as I do not work for VPI. My speculation is based upon prior experiences as clearly indicated in this quote: "I am naive enough to believe that if I had ever sent that 25 year old HW-17(f) back to Mike f...
