Mint Protractor for the Classic Toneram 10.5i-SE
Actusreus, I don't own a VPI Classic table. I asked VPI about the S2P distance in order to mount a VPI JMW Classic 3 arm on another table. A friend of mine just purchased a Classic 3 and his S2P is 258mm. 
Mint Protractor for the Classic Toneram 10.5i-SE
The VPI jig will produce a different null point than the MintLP because VPI does not use one the 3 generally accepted geometries. Also, the VPI jig is expandable and is not fixed in length; therefore, it is absolutely useless in determining or mea...

Convert two Krell KSA 250 into MDA 500
I would assume that the driver board in a MDA 500 is just simpler in design because it does not need to have stereo capabilities. Perhaps the bridge mode simply bypasses the stereo portion of the KSA circuitry to emulate the KMA. If you could get ... 
How to get balanced inputs working
Pavpet, that is exactly how the audio horizon dac is designed to work. You do not have a problem. If you change the transport to dac connection from RCA to XLR, you simply change the input selection to XLR. 
How to get balanced inputs working
The audio horizon dac 3 has an input selector that is used to select between either 1) RCA INPUT or 2) XLR INPUT. This selector does not have anything to do with the output selection.From your above post, the dac is connected to the transport usin... 
VPI Classic motor question
