| Why so many linn lp12s for sale There are so many for sale because they have to go somewhere. | |
| Jelco and Dynavector Short answer....Once set up properly and adjusted, the Jelco 750D would work with the DV. | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade And my opinion... Definitely a better cart. It will make a much bigger improvement than cabling. It's hard to beat an Audio Technica OC-9/II if you can get a step-up device or phono stage that can handle it. If not, have a look at a Denon DL-110 H... | |
| A Soundsmith Denon dl103 retip question I've been using Disc Doctor cleaning fluids with a VPI 16.5 for a long time. Owned 16.5 since probably 1990. I have been very satisfied with the process and results. Sometimes I have to clean a particularly dirty disc a couple of times, but the re... | |
| A Soundsmith Denon dl103 retip question WW - If you're looking for system to clean records, I suggest looking at a vacuum-type record cleaning machine (RCM) like the ones from VPI. Using a record cleaning fluid such as one of the formulations from The Disc Doctor will provide cleaning a... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump Have you discussed this with Harry? | |
| effective mass of Jelco tonearms The effective mass including the cartridge will vary with the weight of the cartridge. Put a nude Denon 103r in a shaved-down lightweight wooden shell and that doesn't weigh much. OTOH, some of the larger boat anchor cartridges even need an extra ... | |
| Sage Wood blocks vs Herbies feet for VPI Nomad? BTW, I'm not using them under a turntable, just electronics. But they work well in that application. | |
| Sage Wood blocks vs Herbies feet for VPI Nomad? Try three Vibrapod cones pointed up. Might need spacers below the cones. Very inexpensive experiment. I've had good results using them. | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump The only time I ever had a thump is when the motor cap went bad. I don't have the problem with a variac because there is no turn on / off of the motor, just the switch on the variac. I keep the variac set to 0volts for turn on / off. You don't hav... | |
| effective mass of Jelco tonearms vinylengine.com provides specs for most all tonearms. For me, the SA-750D was very good with both a Lyra Clavis da Capo and an AT OC9/ml(I). I agree that the 750 is better than the 250. The options and quality of the 750 are well worth the price o... | |
| What is a good entry level turntable? Budget? | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump I don't necessarily think the tables are a bad design because they have a turn on / off thump. I usually judge a component by how it sounds when it's used as intended. The thump is related to a capacitor required in the circuit. When used with a v... | |
| Pulled the VPI trigger In that price range, I don't think you made a mistake. What cart and phono pre-amp will you use? | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump String, you're using a SDS. That isolates the motor. No thump. So does a variac and performs the most important functions of a SDS (isolation and voltage reduction) though manually. |
