| Audio Technica AT-0C9ML/ll Repair Some good answers on the asylum. | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Who cares!?! Harry is the manufacturer taking the risk. If it's good, it will sell at $30K. If not, then it won't. Buyers will judge. | |
| Cost no object tonearm for DL-103 I have to agree with Peter's recommendation of the SA-750 series arms. If possible, opt for the "L" 12" version. Quite nice. Had a SA-750D on a modified TNT with very good results. And at their price you can afford to buy more recordings. I was al... | |
| Phono Preamp - 2k budget? Most used high-end electronic equipment has been very well cared for. Manufacturers typically stand behind their products at this level. They can't afford to have any customer service issues or less than great product reliability. Some manufacture... | |
| Phono Preamp - 2k budget? Used Herron VTPH-2 is the best possible phono stage in that price range. Nothing close, arguably at any price. Second choice would be a used Herron VTPH-1, especially if it is at the current mod level. | |
| Anti-skating on VPI arm? I use a first generation JMW-12. Never had a need for anti-skate even though it would probably not be much in a long arm. The tonearm leads provide just a little torsional resistance. Probably as much as is needed. | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited The Telarc 1812 is not even a particularly good reading. If it was a tracking test, it doesn't really reflect how good a cartridge can track at higher frequencies. It's more of a gimmick recording than much else. | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight If you're going to try the StillPoints LP Weight and own a VPI table, make sure you get the model that is drilled out for a long spindle. I don't think the Stillpoints weight fits on Classic platters unless it's drilled out. At least the model we ... | |
| Cones under a suspended table? I've used Vibrapod Cones with quite good success on several of my components. If you call the Vibrapod company, you will get good advice on installation and set up.Compared to other "cone" products, the Vibrapod cones are quite inexpensive. | |
| Nagra VPS vs ARC PH7 vs Allnic H1500 SE How does a Herron VTPH-2 compare to these phono stages? | |
| Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6? Check the tracking force on the OC9/III compared to its predecessors. | |
| VPI HW-19 Springs Call Harry. | |
| Phonostage with dual inputs? Because you might be able to find then used for MUCH less? | |
| Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6? BTW, I've heard that the PTG/II is marginally better that the OC9/II. | |
| Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6? The PTG/II is available on eBay for under $500. |
