| pink floyd division bell lp In 1994 I was at the record store and had the choice of black vinyl or blue vinyl for $10 more. I purchased the blue vinyl. It sounds very, very good, quality recording, quality vinyl. Unfortunately I can't answer your question because I haven't h... | |
| Any rock fans out there? Number 1 in UK already, first since Paranoid for Black Sabbath, 42 years ago. | |

| VPI Classic tweak The belts will be binding, one belt will try and turn the platter faster in each rotation than the other. Therefore one will have to slip. The belt with the most torque will probably win. Hard for me to visualize how this could be an improvement i... | |
| VPI Classic tweak I believe the position on the platter is irrelevant, the platter is machined to the same diameter up and down its sides. I believe the pulley is machined intentionally with a larger diameter on each groove progressively to accommodate those enthus... | |
| VPI Classic tweak How else could the speed be different? The pulley is machined to a different diameter at each of the pulley positions. | |
| VPI Classic tweak The actual diameter of each position is different. It allows enthusiasts without a SDS to dial in the speed as close as possible to 33 or 44. Check it out with the friekert app and test disk. It gets faster in one direction and slower in the other... | |
| VPI Classic tweak VPI does that for enthusiasts like me that don't have SDS,and no control over AC frequency, so we can obtain correct speed by changing belt position on the pulley, to go faster or slower. | |
| VPI Classic tweak I don't agree. Check it with the friekert app and test disk, each position is a different diameter resulting in a different platter speed. Whether you use a SDS or not, the 2 belts will be spinning at 2 different speeds. | |
| VPI Classic tweak No different with the SDS, different pulley positions are different diameters and will yield different speeds. You can verify it with the friekert app and test disc. The different pulley positions are for those that don't have the SDS to get as cl... | |
| VPI Classic tweak interesting to see what speed you will end up with, since the belts will be fighting each other, with my AC frequency and I don't have a SDS I run at the top groove for 33, it is the closest using freickert android app and the test disc. | |
| VPI Classic tweak Don't see how that can be done on classic series pulleys. Every pulley position is a different diameter, to allow for speed adjustment for variable AC frequencies. Multiple belts will each be at a different speed. | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. In my opinion it depends a lot on the catalog number (mix) and pressing. I have some Black Sabbath UK Vertigo first pressings, self titled, and Master of Reality and the presentation of the soundstage and where Ozzy's voice is is different than th... | |
| New cart for under 1K I had the Dyna 20x2 low output on my Classic 3, and went to the XX2 Mk II and the difference was pronounced, dynamic range, bass emphasis was enhanced, if you can swing it the XX2 MK II continually impresses me. I absolutely really like it for 70s... | |
| Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i I was wondering too, how easy it was to swap head shells and adjust the arm? How much adjustment do you have to do for each Lyra? Just VTA and VTF? azimuth? How long does it take you to swap? Do you have a technique of marks or pre-positioned poin... |
