| Basis and table mats? Thanks for the tips all. I'm curious about the new belt also. | |
| Basis and table mats? I agree with other about the mat. I use my 2500 with no mat, but I do have the Basis clamp which works very well.I thought about trying the dental floss or silk string, but the pulley seems to have a convexed shape so I'm afraid the string would r... | |
| Rocky return to vinyl I wouldn't go crazy with the vacuum at all. If you can find an old sweeper at the thrift shop for a few bucks you'd be all set for next to nothing in cost. You may find that you have too much suction, but that is very easy to deal with. A few hole... | |
| Rocky return to vinyl I use a DIY RCM based on the one in the link you posted. It works great for me. I do have to spin it by hand, but I'd bet the suction is many times better than a VPI or any other commercial RCM. Probably now where near a Loricraft or Monk, but thi... | |
| One SS amp running hotter that the other,. . . Thanx folks! Ez, I was just thinking the same thing, but I'm not holden out much hope. Only one way to find out. | |
| How many records do you own? Not. . . enough! Never. . . enough. . .rekkids! Must. . .have. . .more! | |
| Turntable Purchase Suggestion Meyerb, you can add the Aesthetix Rhea to your list of possible phono stages. I have one that works very well with my 50SE. Probably a bit cheaper than a P10se as well.I would suggest looking a bit higher up the Basis food chain at at least a 2500... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? I know what you mean, Rockinroni. I'm already fighting the battle with static. This time of year it's bad one day, completely gone the next. It also takes about 2 hours to lift the temperature in my listening room (finished basement) using only th... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? So I was bock over on VA last night and found a post that suggested weighing records and then making slight VTA adjustements based on the weight. I assume that the theory is that since the records are approximately the same surface area the weight... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? Speedy, I didn't take it that way, and you're post are extremely helpful to me. So please don't stop on my account. I just felt I needed to explain what I was about. It's pretty hard for me sometimes to get my thoughts across in written posts. (Wo... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? Sirspeedy, my comment about real precision measurements was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I don't remember what arm you have but with the Vector the mounting cup just slides up and down when the set screw is loosened. It is very easy to move it too... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? Eureka! It's all about methodology! I went over to VA and did a search on VTA postings by jnhvac just as DougDeacon suggested. I found a post where jnhvac describes his method of starting with the cartridge level with respect to the record surface... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? Thanks, DougDeacon and Sirspeedy, for pointing out where I am going wrong. I do have trouble with the 103r in finding that spot where Walker says the bass goes heavy and the highs drop off. Perhaps I am too focused on the bass and not listening to... | |
| Best tonearm position for VTA? DougDeacon, there actually walnut and hard maple. I've been in New England long enough to start turning Yankee. I don't through anything away, especially from my humble wood shop. The blocks I am using are from my audio rack system. I pulled them ... | |
| Music Hall mmf-5 vs. Rega P3 I think it's a toss-up, FWIW. Tweaking these tables is fine and you do pick up something for the efforts. But I don't think either really stands out over it's rival. If you like the Music Hall I would suggest looking at the MMF 7, which I think is... |
