| 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? | |

| 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. | |
| Why is it that? If you get a used Herron VTSP-1mc, it would end your concerns and you will get significantly better performance. | |
| Phonostage with dual inputs? On a different forum, someone recently mentioned an ARC MCP-2 (IIRC) that has multiple inputs and flexible loading options. | |
| Phonostage with dual inputs? The Herron VTPH-2 has mm and mc inputs, but breaks the $500 price point. | |
| New VPI 3D Arm If the arm effective mass is changing, that alone could account for significant differences in sound. Arm tube material aside, the cartridge will obviously just work differently. Not sure if / when I will pop for a 3D to replace my ancient JMW-12 ... | |
| Low frequency problem while playing vinyl Dirty bearings? Warped records? London recording of Tales of Czar Saltan? |
