| How important is +- 0.1 db from RIAA curve? Impressively flat, very nice. It would be interesting to know what it looks like with Neumann HF correction, if it down -0.64db at 20,000 hz. | |
| Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i Very cool | |
| How important is +- 0.1 db from RIAA curve? I currently own the Avid Pulsus which is Neumann HF corrected. I selected it after comparing it with some other less expensive units, which I believe were not Neumann HF corrected. However, I don't think my selection had anything to do with the ... | |
| How important is +- 0.1 db from RIAA curve? Well if it is agreed that Neumann HF correction is a good thing, and that is debatable, then the +-0.1 db standard on RIAA cannot be achieved, since Neumann correction deviates from RIAA by -0.64 db, (referencing the work done in the Stereophile a... | |
| How important is +- 0.1 db from RIAA curve? There is a very good article in Stereophile discussing the merits of an additional HF correction like Neumann. The author makes an interesting argument on page 3, suggesting that the HF role off of Neumann SAL 74/74B at 20K HZ is 0.1 db instead o... | |

| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table Stringreen,Very good, I presume the arm is using similar metal counterweight. I would guess the uni-pivot point which is steel on the current JWM would also remain steel. Interesting the arm is much lighter since that will affect resonance frequen... | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table It sounds like the composite arm is a unipivot, is it the same design as the JWM unipivot? It would be great if it was a direct drop in with the current VPI tables, other than the Traveler. Has anyone received any information from VPI or those tha... | |
| Dyna XX-2 MKII vs. Lyra Kleos Since I just re-installed my Dynavector XX-2 MKII, I thought I would resurrect this thread to see if anyone has made any comparisons of it with the Lyra. | |
| Thinking About Upgrading the VPI Tonearm Base FYI, link to the thread where I listed the VTA offsets for digital scale, MINTLP, 180 gram records, etc.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1366675416&openfrom&13&4#13 | |
| Thinking About Upgrading the VPI Tonearm Base I've taken both apart, the classic 1 base and the classic 3 base. Both are directly bolted into the plinth, certainly the mass involved is a huge difference. The classic 3 base has a solid steel "hockey puck" with 3 holes drilled directly through ... | |
| Thinking About Upgrading the VPI Tonearm Base I can't help much with the incremental upgrades, because I jumped directly to the classic 3 from the classic 1. I am very happy I did. From a resale perspective the classic 3 is class A in Stereophile 2013 recommended components. You won't necessa... | |
| Offset Angle on VPI Classic Tonearm Actusreus,Well I just mounted my Dynavector XX-2 MK II, I haven't used the cartridge since last year. And for precise cantilever alignment with the MINTLP it did require a slight twist. Very slight, the cartridge which is at the outer part of the ... | |
| Offset Angle on VPI Classic Tonearm Additional comments.With such a precise method for aligning to the baerwald arc, you need to ensure you know your optimal SRA first. Which is an entirely different conversation. The MINTLP is the thickness of a 180 gram record. Standard records mi... |
