| 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?" | |
| AT OC9 MLii channel problem My opinion....Appears to be a busted cart. AT is pretty good at customer service when it comes to these kinds of problems / possible manufacturing or materials defect. If the cartridge has some serious hours on it, then expect to pay for a trade... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @atmasphere Thank you. I'm using a Herron VTPH-2a (big surprise to everyone, eh?) with no loading. I have not experienced any change in the AT cartridges' performance run in that unit. | |
| Grado Sonata Cartridge vs. Rega Ania In my opinion....Lots of carts in that price range smoke the Grado cartridge. Denon 110, ATVM750SH and Soundsmith Otello are three that quickly come to mind in the price range of the two carts you are asking to compare. All three are high output (... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @atmasphere Just a question to help my understanding of cartridge motor operation and loading. Only seeking information from one who knows....Does cartridge loading impact motor operation, cartridge compliance, frequency response or other facto... | |
| Speed accuracy- how accurate is accurate? In my opinion....Pitch stability is MUCH MORE about off-center holes than variations in properly performing turntable motor operations. The difference between 33.31 and 33.35 is insignificant as long as the speed remains relatively constant in th... | |
| TNT Hot Rod vs SL-1200G @tzh21y My opinion....Could not agree more about early Aries tables. I would go a bit farther to suggest an Aries Extended with a JMW-12 arm sitting on Stillpoint cones is VERY hard to beat AT ANY COST OR BUDGET. That said, early VPI TNTs are quit... |
