| VPI Hw-19 Jr. Thoughts? I have a HW-19 III and there is no comparison between it and a Jr. The Jr. is really an entry level table, the 19 III is a huge step up. Pretty much everything is different except the motor and outer frame.I've seen several Jr.s for sale on eBay t... | |
| VPI Aries/JMW 10/Lyra Delos -- Phono preamp rec? Call Keith Herron at Herron Audio ( www.herronaudio.com ) and see if he has any used VTPH-1 phono stages available. They are a great match for Lyra carts. IMO, a used VTPH-1 would be the absolute best bang for the buck at your price point. | |
| vpi JMW arm lengths When you call VPI, make sure you have the exact model of arm wand and the base(s) on which you intend to mount such arm wand. | |
| vpi JMW arm lengths I think different generations of JMW arms sometimes use a different pivot structure. I don't think my original JMW-12 would fit on a modern base. Or at least so I've been told. | |
| Acrylic platter Oh, I don't know. Seems to me that the acrylic platters from VPI don't measure up to the aluminum ones on the Classic.But it's your decision, you just seemed to ask for opinions. | |
| Burn in Step up transformer with ipod. Wouldn't the load at the input side be impacted by the load at the output side? | |
| Burn in Step up transformer with ipod. Don't forget to load the transformer outputs. A 47k resistor across each output should work OK. | |
| VPI owners....... @Frogman Did you need to send the table back or just the platter and bearing? (Just curious) | |
| Similar sounding of Lyra cartridge ? It's very hard to make that call not knowing which Lyra cartridge you are describing. The Lyra Clavis da Capo was a bright and a bit thin sounding cartridge, nothing like the cartridges described above. Other Lyra carts of that general vintage are... | |
| Am I totally nuts or just a bit off? You're probably not completely nuts, but then you are into vinyl so that's a big step toward the brink. :) What you're listening to probably was not recorded using the standard RIAA equalization, but most likely a different EQ. That makes for a di... | |
| cartridge plays the radio Can you select which radio station to listen to by changing records?Have you checked to see if it will work as a second remote for your TV? | |
| VPI owners....... The only platter runout problems I've ever had were associated with previous users that changed the leveling screws in the first place. (I've bought several used including my current original Aries.)It doesn't take much to place the platter at the... | |
| New VPI anti-static mat for Classic Platter How soon they forget....Harry likes to tweak and address user concerns. When he finds something that works, he makes it available. Is he in the business to make money? Of course. But he also provides very good performing products right out of the ... | |
| Herron VTPH-1 vs Allnic H1201 IMO, call Keith. He takes good care of his customers and users. | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter If it is a pulley with a single deep groove, the belt will not wander but will stay in that position on the pulley. Some of the newer pulleys have multiple smaller grooves and the belt could jump from groove to groove if there is not additional "g... |
