| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT I don't know how long the balls are supposed to last. Estimates as to their longevity may be based on their use as paddleballs, which may be a harder use with a shorter life than in a table suspension. The good news is that they are off-the-shelf ... | |
| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT Downunder,Your link is correct. That was what I bought. Clearly, it SHOULD be possible to buy a kit for the HRX without the towers for less cost. Bob at Elusive told me that what I got was the only kit available at the time of my order. I think VP... | |
| New Air Suspension Footers for VPI TNT I got the new suspension. Here are my experiences with the upgrade:I ordered the HRX Footers from the Elusive Disc, a reputable retailer. They took a long time to come; availability was subject to VPIs production schedule. Bob at Elusive was good... | |
| Any Levinson 390s Level Players, But At Less Cost? In case you haven't seen it, here's a thread that addresses the difference between the 390s and the 39, from back in 2002.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1020275249&openfrom&1&4#1 | |
| Can I place a large amp on its side? With proper ventilation (i.e., a fan setup), you should be able to put it on its side.This amp can be configured by adding power modules that take its output from 200 watts to 1000 watts. I don't know how your unit is fitted out -- perhaps you hav... | |
| If Audio bug never hit you, what hobby might have? Photography, in which I actually do dabble. It's got the same equipment-for-art's-sake motif with a little more personal input/involvement. | |
| My VPI MK3 skips if I walk near it.Should this be? My HW19 III used to do this, too. I am not aware of any spring adjustment. To stop it, I braced the support shelf against the walls behind and beside it. (It was in a corner.) I also inserted folded paper shims between the plinth and the wooden ba... | |
| Cartridge mounting on graham phantom I believe the Koetsu Jade Platinum has the standard Koetsu rectangular shape, and there should be no tilt up in the back. Have you made sure there is no obstruction caught between the top of the cartridge and the headshell? If not, then either the... | |
| Graham Phantom Tonearm SME Mount Availability Don't think so; haven't heard of it. By "SME mount" I assume you are referring to the sliding adjustable mount that was standard on the 1.5 arm (versus the "rigid mount" that was standard on the 2.0 and subsequent Graham arms)? I recall that the 2... | |
| Help Graham 2.2 Arm lift The right way to fix this is to get the right hex key and make the adjustment, as your posting implies you already considered. I don't know what the right size hex key is (assuming you have checked out that the correct tool is a hex key and not, s... | |
| VPI Ring Clamp The ring clamp came with my turntable so I didn't have to make the decision. I'll repeat some thoughts I wrote on an earlier thread:Soundwise, it seems to tighten up the soundstage, fix the images a little more firmly. Certainly made a difference,... | |
| VPI Ring Clamp Yeah, sometimes it seems to stick or catch. I assume this is because it is a very precise fit. Maybe VPI could eliminate this with a slight beveling of the inner surface, if it were important enough to have to deal with. I just have to be a little... | |
| Looking for quality CD changer McIntosh makes a 5 disc changer, the MCD 205. Worth a listen. | |
| Turntable height I don't think there is an "accepted norm." (Sorry, Norm) I have mine at chest height so I can handle the dustcover, clamps, and records comfortably. This also lets me bend over a little to peer at the needle closely when I am cueing to a particula... | |
| Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out I agree with your idea of using the Phono Out.If the Phono Out of your preamp indeed represents the output of your preamp's phono stage, presumably the Phono Out puts out a line level signal (unimpeded by the volume control) of whatever you're pla... |
