| Upgrade Superscoutmaster or Buy Classic 3? I would first do the Rimdrive, then the Classic Platter, then the 10.5i tonearm. | |
| Upgrade Superscoutmaster or Buy Classic 3? Viridian, I disagree. The Super Scoutmaster Reference Rimdrive has been very well received and reviewed. It will have value in the future on the open market if ever resold in its entirety. The sum of its parts yields a highly musical, accurate and... | |
| Upgrade Superscoutmaster or Buy Classic 3? I have the Super Scoutmaster Reference with rimdrive, 10.5i tonearm, and SDS, and am very happy with it. It started out originally as a regular Super Scoutmaster with 9 inch arm and acrylic platter. I now have the Classic Platter, upgraded from th... | |
| Tube Cage On or Off. Does it Make any Difference? I have the Mystere CA-21 preamp and leave the tube cage off all the time for better ventilation and appearance. You can leave it on if you prefer for better protection. I am very impressed with Mystere's performance and build quality. | |
| Acoustics and chair Check out the Ekornes Stressless- wonderful chair, supremely comfortable soft leather and fully adjustable with hassock. Not cheap, but well worth it. | |
| VPI SSM Ref setup variations I have the SSM with rim drive and Classic platter and highly recommend 2 symposium acoustics round precision couplers between the rubber feet front and rear. I also use the Edensound bear paws and smaller symposium acoustics round couplers with ce... | |

| VPI SSM Ref setup variations Not sure what you mean, please clarify. | |
| VPI SSM Ref setup variations Rateourmover,2 round precision couplers are all that is needed. This is a very stable platform for the SSM on the Ultra shelf, no movement noted, and much more stable than the rubber feet. | |
| VPI SSM Ref setup variations One additional thing I didn't mention. I use smaller black round Symposium Acoustics precision couplers with center dimple under each of the Edensound Bear Paws supporting the turntable. | |
| VPI SSM Ref setup variations I'm not quite sure what you mean by using 3 Symposium Acoustics Precision Round Couplers under the SSM motor assembly. I use one round coupler between the 2 rubber feet in the front of the motor (the narrow side facing you) and one in the rear bet... | |
| VPI Platter Spinning SLOWLY I had a similar issue and found I was using too much white lithium grease.I cleaned everything off really well and put a very small amount on the bearing. worked fine then. | |
| Searching for Sugar Man Movie is a must see I went with my wife. It brought tears to my eyes, let me tell you! | |
| Information on setting cartridge loading Thank you Rauliruegas, this is helpful information. So a 100 ohm setting is considered low, while a 47,000 is high, or viceversa? | |
| Information on setting cartridge loading Thank you all. Marakanetz, I have a Lyra Titan-i cartridge and am using a Graham Slee Reflex with Graham Slee Elevator which has various settings for different load. |
