| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas Your words "there is no worst blind that the one that did not want to see." says the individual that refuses to "see" that engineering design of tube equipment can, and often does, provide superior results over solid state equipment. ... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas "enough for now"? Too much for nothing. Concise is nice. So you're a manufacturer hawking your own design? That doesn't exactly make you an objective source of information. Since you're not an objective source of information, yo... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT There is so much in table set-up and tweaks. We can recommend until we're blue in the face. But in the end, all that may REALLY be needed are some good tweaks that will help your existing system perform at a higher level. Cones under the plinth... | |
| Vinyl Cleaning @wags.... My educated opinion and personal experience.....Before figuring out what mix to use or what formula to put on your precious vinyl records, it is necessary to determine what needs to be cleaned from the grooves. It makes NO sense to creat... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) And yes, @tooblue has found a gem. The SCoutmaster for $1600 is a great deal. Be prepared to put that table on Bear Claws or Stillpoint Cones in the same way as the description of the Aries setup. VPI cone/feet don't work very well. | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) @gritter2 IIn my opinion, there is another option you might consider....Search around for an early (v1 or v2) VPI Aries or Aries Extended (MUCH preferred). t might take a little while since, even used, these early Aries are in pretty high dema... | |
| New to this. How do I stack my stuff? Everything else failing, Get a bunch of Vibrapod Cones to use under each piece of equipment. It will help isolate the equipment vibrations from each other and provide a little more distance that just the devices feet. If it can be done safely, p... | |
| What do people place on their platter for dust protection Clean the platter with a damp lint-free cloth before a listening session. And let the platter dry before placing a record on it. | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Noise issue driving me nuts! @bigjohn9095....Just my opinion....If the cartridge is ONLY picking up noise when the stylus is in contact with the table, then logic seems to be that the noise is coming from table vibration. Something is in contact with the plinth or bearing th... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Seems to me that VPI released a couple of budget "giant killers" that only measured up to "OK." Marketing is fun to follow, but at some point, marketing will collide with reality. I hope Shiit succeeds with that DIY budget table. It will help b... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT @stereo5 @andysf Let's not feed the troll. As @stereo5 reported about his previous posts, his current trolling does not indicate he has changed. He does not seem interested in constructive comments. | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT In my opinion....VPI "feet" are not very effective. The tweak of choice seems to be placing VPI tables on Stillpoint cones or Bear Claws. The differences are obvious and positive. My suggestion is to try this tweak before spending money on major u... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT @wcfeil - Fanboys? How condescending you are. | |
| Grado Sonata Cartridge vs. Rega Ania @orpheus10 In my opinion....I'm talking about accurate reproduction of the information recorded in the groove. You're talking about colorations and distortions, masking of information. I want to hear what's in the groove, not be romanced by some... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT @wcfeil - My opinion....I don't have any problem with VPI arms. I'm using an ancient JMW Memorial 12, VPI's original 12" arm, with excellent results. What arms are the "weak link?" |
