Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
Dgad, what I found really funny and entertaining are your responses to this thread. That you use your cell phone to check the level of your turntable (probably a Webcor record player!). Do you use your coffee pot to adjust VTA?! Or your toothbrush... 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
Certainly more sensitive to level compared to a VPI 16.5 which I had before the Loricraft. However, certainly NOT nearly as critical and essential when compared to the turntable and tonearm though. Still, I found it useful for my PRC-3 anyway.

Loricraft has a tonearm with counterweight and works better when the platter is level, and is more sensitive to out of level than a VPI type machine. 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
the way I see it is if the turntable and platter are not perfectly level, all of the other settings are compromised in one way or another, especially on a unipivot arm. I questioned the expense when ordering the cartridge man, bit after receiving ... 
Which Digital Level Gauge to buy?
yes Mauidj, there is a center hole for the gauge to fit on the platter spindle, as well as just placing the gauge on various positions of the platter itself. I have found especially with a unipivot tonearm such as the 10.5i on the VPI SSM it has m... 
How a nickel can make a valuable improvement
Cinellipro, do you have the parts number for the brass washers from Grainger.com? Thanks.

it nails exact level by tenths of a degree so there is no question when you have achieved perfect level in all planes.

The Bearpaws should all be screwed tight up against the bottom of the table. See which foot/feet need a shim- I used a nickel under each footer only on the right side of the table to eliminate movement and bring table to level. Try a dime under ea...

I have the cartridge man digital level gauge. it is very accurate and easy to level in all planes with 0.0 degree level readings attainable. yes, it is expensive, but if you have highly resolving analog front end it can make an audible improvement. 
VPI Super Scoutmaster Cartridge ?
Lyras work very well! 
VPI Rim Drive vibrations
Krell,I have the VPI SSM with rimdrive and Edensound Bear Paws which sit on a Symposium Acoustics Ultra shelf. I strongly recommend that you do NOT use the roller blocks under the Symposium Ultra shelf for your VPI SSM rimdrive. The Ultra shelf is... 
VPI Rim Drive vibrations
I have the Super Scoutmaster Reference with Rimdrive and Edensound Bearpaws. I get absolutely NO rocking of the tonearm- it is totally rock steady from the point the tonearm is lowered onto the record to the end of the record. I used the Fozgomete... 
VPI Rim Drive vibrations
I found that the rubber feet on the SAMA motor assembly were causing slight vibration on my Super Scoutmaster with Rimdrive. I placed 1 Symposium Acoustics Fat Pad below and in between each set of front and rear rubber footers below the motor asse...

That's a great suggestion! I'll look into getting brass washers. Thank you. 
How a nickel can make a valuable improvement
I would prefer to use brass, but doesn't that washer type have a hole in the center? I need to have a flat solid spacer the same thickness as a nickel so the spiked end can rest in the middle.
