VPI's website down
The long and the short of it is as we speak Claire my operations manager and myself have been working to recover the old forum with ALL of its content as an archived resource.   Mat-  What does this mean?  Will the new site have all of the old... 
VPI's website down
Thanks for the link @mulveling. Unfortunately, I think that poster is correct, although it didn't have to be that way.  There was a lot of good information on VPI's forum and hopefully, it is not lost completely now.  It was a good resource to fi... 
Schumann Resonator
I was hoping you could provide more of an argument than just a bunch of double talk and mysticism cloaked in bad grammar an improper English, but such is not the case.Schumann Resonance is well defined phenomenon and easily understood, but unfortu... 
Schumann Resonator
Am i forgetting another reason? Yes, there are some people who believe in science and physics and not voodoo.  There are people who are not gullible or naive and can realize when they are being conned.  Some people don't fall for the logical fall... 
Schumann Resonator
Someone on VPI's forum did some measurements:http://www.vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18703&start=20#p69034 Doesn't look as if they were impressed with the results. 
VPI Speed Controller
@rodman99999 That was a very  funny video.  Putting oil in the top of the pulley to lube the bearing.  Who is that moron?  He certainly doesn't know anything about turntables or motors.Agree with the other posters.  Keep your SDS. 
RIAA, Questions only please
Agreed.  However, Roger seems more interested in conducting semantic arguments than in educating anyone.  I was reading a thread in the tech forum about RMS power and it was fairly civil until Roger jumped in and it became almost comical in how pe... 
VPI 40th Anniversary Table After Warranty Support Question
While it may be a thought experiment (since very few people have seen an actual HW40 outside of a trade show or the roll-out at the VPI house), I think the OP raises some legitimate concerns.  The concerns could certainly be addressed, but from wh... 
Pheonix Engineering Road Runner
We have designed a Tachometer that displays RPM to 3 decimal points like the RR and will offer it for sale soon - it will however not communicate with a power source to correct speed issues.  it’s accuracy is 5ppm better than the RR.I thought ... 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
So........pretty much a waste of my time posting here.Guess I'll try another website.Over and out. 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
@fleschler- You have it backwards. A higher frequency US will have lower energy release and it will be much more evenly distributed than lower frequency. The cavitation bubble size is inversely proportional to the frequency; the higher the fr... 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
@whart - Thanks for your thoughtful response. The general consensus seems to be that US RCMs do not cause any damage; I suspect that if any microscopic changes (damage) are occurring, it is subtle, random, isolated and cumulative, possibly evading... 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
I’ve been following this thread for some time now, very interesting reading and thanks to all the contributors.Some observations:I owned one of the original AD US cleaners and was not impressed with the results or the build quality. I replaced it ... 
VPI ADS Versus SDS
The last number I saw bantered about for the upgraded ADS was ~$2K.This is an interesting alternative for little more money than the original ADS:http://www.9tci.com/ ~$1200.  Crystal controlled, dual phase, 2 motors, tachometer feedback... 
VPI ADS Versus SDS
There is an on-line review here that covers some of the differences:http://www.turntablepsu.com/vpi.html
