| Are Dust Covers a MUST Platter covers are more of a 'must' IMO to keep it clean and prevent dirt transfer to LP's. I've been using a platter sized cartridge alignment protractor that came with an old test LP record and recently replaced it with a poly platter dust cover... | |
| Turntable bearing noise VPI recommends white lithium grease (just a small dab) on the bearing for its inverted bearing, not oil. | |
| clearaudio turntables vs vpi I agree Stringreen. I would expect an improvement with the magnetic drive on my SSM, but wonder about a huge difference. I read on a post on the VPI site from HW himself that the mag drive will cost closer to around $2,000, not the $6,000 cost whi... | |
| clearaudio turntables vs vpi Tony I have not heard the Classic 3 so I can't make the comparison. | |
| clearaudio turntables vs vpi Tony, I heard the Prime table as well. Excellent table, tremendous performance and features (VTA tower, Classic platter, 3D tone arm), great sound, amazing value for the money. | |
| clearaudio turntables vs vpi Stringreen, I have been toying with the idea of replacing my SSM with rim drive, Classic platter, and 3D tonearm too. The Avenger is a drop dead gorgeous table. The only advantages to the Avenger I see are that a 12 inch tone arm can be used, and ... | |
| clearaudio turntables vs vpi Stringreen, I was at VPI's audio open house at Harry's home yesterday as host to a few audio societies. They have 4 listening rooms set up with different systems. I heard the Avenger both with and without the magnetic drive system. Both sounded ex... | |
| Helpful information about VPI motor hum You need to occasionally lubricate the motor. I have a Super Scoutmaster with rim drive and once a year or so put a couple of drops of Liquid Bearings synthetic oil in each motor- really helps to make the motor run a lot smoother and more quietly. | |
| Speaker Cables for Revel Studio Ultima. I highly suggest you speak to Paul at Clear Day cables. They have made positive changes to musicality in my system. Paul is as honest and straight forward as they come. If you don't like them return for money back. | |
| PrimaLuna vs Mystere I have a Mystere CA-21 preamp and love it. I haven't compared it to the PrimaLuna. The Mystere is beautifully built and is very musical with natural tone and timbre, deep, wide and high sound stage, tight bass, and natural mids and highs. I do not... | |
| VPI setup I use a Cartridge Man digital gauge, much more accurate and consistent than the cheap Chinese digital scales!! Only downside is the price of $399. I also use the Cartridge Man digital level which is extremely accurate for my Super Scoutmaster Ref.... | |
| Turntable placement Andarilu, I very recently was getting acoustic feedback thru my speakers. I have a VPI Super Scoutmaster Ref. with rimdrive and 10" 3D arm, and all of a sudden was getting a noice thru the woofers which would increase as the volume was raised. It ... | |
