| Loud pop when I use the turntable on/off button Change the capacitor across the on-off switch from the .001 microfarad installed to a .01 microfarad. That is also the recommendation from VPI. Worked great in my system, thump instantly gone, now I can turn it on/off at any volume. Just unscrew t... | |
| Record Clamps, which one and why? I need to correct my post, I took a look at some pictures of my Classic 1 and it looks like the platter for the Classic 1 and the Classic 3 are identical. No lip and they both have troughs for the peripheral ring. So the suction is accomplished wi... | |

| Does a Sub for Wilson Sophia II make sense? I actually do not have the sub or the Aerius anymore. I am a little wary about ruining the tight bass on the Wilson's. I also know that with me, I tended to exaggerate the sub frequencies at first which ended up bloating that bottom end. It would ... | |
| Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise For what it is worth, I went from Martin Logan Aerius to Wilson Sophia 2. I had the Aerius for 16 years or so, and I was very familiar with them. As soon as I hooked up the Wilson's I jotted down some notes while the Aerius was still fresh in my m... | |
