| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I spent an afternoon with the Uni-Pro.The following is my own impression and opinion:The Uni-Pro came packaged very very well. All parts were in protective pouches, etc. The PDF manual is excellent. Easy to read and follow.I initially took a gande... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment @Thuchan,I listen to mostly classical although I don't know if you can call artists like Xenakis "classical" but that is someone I am studying right now. I play jazz for a living!Anyway, I can only be so lucky to have received it yet. Still waitin... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Thuchan:Looking forward to your more detailed impressions of the uni-pro. Just received my tracking # so I should have mine shortly. | |
| VPI Scout - slow speed , help ? That is way off. Do you have the motor positioned properly? Do you have a test record with say a 3khz tone? Use a frequency counter and check.If music is in tune, the strobe is defective. I have the KAB and they are usually dead on, though. | |
| Tubes Through Solid State Seems a personal choice. I like solid state linestage through a tube power amp. Of course, high quality gear is required. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I did read the vinylengine article on the VPI jig. It was hard to take it to heart because the spindle to pivot for the 10.5i is completely wrong.He says 262mm but in reality, it is 256mm. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment That is for sure. I am using the Mint protractor for my VPI 10.5i arm right now. The Mint is made with Baerwald IEC, I believe. | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Interesting. I'll take out the VIP jig again and check it out. Currently, my Grado Statement1 is set up with the Mint protractor. By the way, I emailed Yip about my question asking if he might have a better alternative than his 10x loupe and he re... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Isn't it true that the VPI jig that comes with the 10.5i arm is not based on Lofgren, Baerwarld, or Stevenson? I think I read somewhere that Harry used his ears along with some other method...And how accurate can one align a stylus by eye and hand? | |
| loading resistor question Just got my Vishay TX2575 pair. Installed them and they blew away my skepticism. They really do sound much better than the stock Sutherland resistors. I can't believe it but my ears tell me different.The music has much more delicacy and you hear m... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Looking at a K-01 or a Luxman D-08. Tough to choose. Perhaps a Audio Note dac and transport combo? | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? I too am now having the dilemma.Esoteric K-01 or the Luxman D-08. Or perhaps a Audio Note DAC and transport combo... | |
| Dynavector 20X or Grado Sonata for VPI? I used Sonata for a while. Did not have enough air and detail for me. 20x is probably a better choice. I did the the Statement1 and this did not disappoint on my VPI Aries 3. | |
| Would I benefit from a headphone amp? WM-D6C has a decent headphone out and can drive almost all headphones.I use a Yamamoto HA-02 with my D6C. Make sure you use the line out instead of the headphone output.I find the HA-02 to be superior with my headphones than the headphone out of t... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment "Joel had considered the idea of providing a Mint protractor with the tonearm, but we see examples above of individuals who cannot relate to this wonderful tool."I certainly can relate to this tool. I also can relate to the fact that with the supp... |
