Frogman, I called 732-583-6895. Got the receptionist, I think,then Mike came on the phone. Try it...good luck.Great guy to talk to, BTW... 
Cartridge for JMW 10
Spoke with Mike today at VPI, and he suggested BOTH the lighter drop counterweight and the 3 gram headshell weight. He said I would be better off with the counterweight mass a bit away from the pivot, contrary to popular belief, so I'll get that c... 
Cartridge for JMW 10
Thanks for the suggestion , guys. The counterweight seems the way to go.Curious, Kehut, if you have run into this with your arm....The cartridge must be installed at the very end of the arm to get the proper position regarding the tracking protrac...

Kehut, just curious if you find the need for the VPI 3 gram headshell weights with your cartridge, or is the 5 gram ZYX OK with this arm as isCarl 
Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables
Dave , just a thought. They will hold 50 pounds of shot, as that's what I put in mine. Would the extra 25 make a difference, perhaps?Carl

Dave, I just ordered a set of Verbatim bi-wires , which are the cables VSA uses , according to the sales manager, Paul Garner. It will take a while to get them and break them in, but I'll give you my impressions when it happens. Carl 
Is there a best cartridge track force gauge?
The one I have is ancient, a Shure fromthe 60's or 70's...and it is magnetic as hell!!...When I got back into vinyl some years back, and mounted my new Glider, it snapped together with the scale so tightly that I thought the stylus was stuck in th... 
ZYX RS20 vs Denon DL103
I got a Yatra a few weeks ago, and tho it'not fully broken in, it was a big improvement over my Benz Glider. Now I need a phono pre with more gain , however, as at max volume it still is a bit below tha loudness level I like.Carl 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
I havean old LP. It's a Gary Glitter one, titled simply "Giltter", and it's one of my favourite albums. Great drums, great music, a tremendous version of the 50's classic "Donna", Just a Hell of a fun record. Anyone else recall this or have it? I'... 
New Von Schweikert Models
I had heard a while ago that the super tweeter might be an add-on for the VR4jr's. Anyone know if that is in fact true? 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Opalchip, As one of the owners who is not happy with the finish quality of the speaker, I will agree on that point. We are all buying what we enjoy, and I have no doubt any trained musician has a heck of a lot more knowledge as to what insturments...

I wonder how many of the pairs for sale got truely broken in. I know mine changed for the better about a month ago, and I thought I'd gotten them broken in earlier, but they seemed to come to life then. Wish I could put a finger on it, and maybe I... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Rob, Couldn't agree more. I am , sadly, one of many who like in the boonies, and getting to hear any of this stuff is almost impossible, so I rely like most on reviews and the sage advice of the great people on forums like this. I almost alwaqys b... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
I've had mine since late October, and think I've finally gotten past the breakin period, as they have changed greatly for the better in the last mont. Either that or the wine is affecting my ears more than I imagine!They have impressed me more eve...
