| VPI Scout - slow speed , help ? Ok, for those of you following this thread: I've just switched out the 300rpm motor for the original 600 rpm model, and the speed is almost perfect! There must be some issue with the capacitor (as someone previously mentioned), or perhaps the pull... | |
| VPI Scout - slow speed , help ? I'll try boiling the belt; I'm sure to get raised eyebrows from my wife! I'll also try installing the original 600rpm motor and re-measure the speed. For skeptics of the KAB strobe disc, the supplied VPI strobe measures the same. B | |
| VPI Scout - slow speed , help ? Ok, the platter is consistently measuring fast, now. I've taken measurements with the motor plugged into: a different circuit; wall receptacle of the dedicated 15amp; the power conditioner, all with the same results. I've tried using different ste... | |
| VPI Scout - slow speed , help ? Well, I think I've just discovered some major power fluctuations in my 'hood!With the motor positioned correctly, I tried Elizabeth's trick; I counted 103 1/3rd rotations in 3 minutes. I tried the KAB again and it was reading fast (????)!My assump... | |
| Power Cable for Simaudio Moon i 3.3 Integrated Amp I had the predecessor to the I 3.3; the I-5080. It really rocked-out with Cardas cabling, admittedly. I now use Virtual Dynamics power cables and Audience IC's and speaker leads. I think Cardas AND Audience would be good directions to try; Cardas ... | |
| Power Cable for Simaudio Moon i 3.3 Integrated Amp You can buy something like a Signal brand cable for about $50 and hear sonic benefits; after that, the sky is the limit! Everyone has their favourite brand of cable and will no doubt offer valid opinions regarding each. You should set a budget and... | |
| Pre Amp with top class phono stage? I have been contemplating the same question; I've been steered toward the EAR 868P. Worth a look? | |
| Budget integrated amps for garage system If it's cheap you want, I run my Ipod into the Tivoli I-Pal. http://www.tivoliaudio.com/products/portables/the-ipal-white-silver.html | |
| List of tube integrateds with headphone out What about Peachtree Audio Nova/Decco? | |
| How does a beginner turntable compare to digital ? With my limited vinyl knowledge and experience, i would say your phono pre-amp is also a factor. I chose to wait until I had a bigger budget than yours, and still was a little let-down. My cdp is a Resolution Audio Opus 21. However, if you already... | |
| warm up time resolution audio opus 21 I always leave mine on standby, and don't notice any improvement in sound when 'warmed up'. However, I do notice a difference when the display is completely turned off - try it! | |
| Ten audiophile commandments Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife!This could lead to the liquidation of assets. ie: No house to house your stereo in, and possibly, nothing but a Ipod! | |
| Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others.. Don't forget Gary Numan's 'Telekon'! -The live version on vinyl is quite good!Kraftwerk (the creators of Synthpop), with 'Computerworld' | |
| Little Red Dot on Totem Hawks When I had my Sttafs years ago, I was told this was a 'Focus Dot' which should not be removed. Nice to know this was B.S., as it sure sounded like it at the time! | |
| One of my speakers sounds louder then the other. I would clean all of your connections; speaker cables, IC's. Tighten the screws on all the drivers so that they're snug and evenly torqued. Is your room symmetrical? Try swapping sides with the speakers. |
