| VPI SDS question I dont' have any problems with my SDS and Aries 3. Once set, it is dead on and I check it frequently.The SDS starts the motor at 115 and then shifts down to 84. When the motor is off, it shifts down to 72. That is as it should. | |
| Possible to Compare the DV XV-1 & Grado Statement? I have a Nagaoka MP-50 set up with a VPI Aries 3. I really enjoy this cartridge. I went from a Grado Sonata. I really liked the Sonata and will receive my Statement 1 this coming week. | |
| P3-24 pitch instability The spindle is too much. Get your money back. | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth I use the Feickert software for azimuth. I had an interesting experience. A cartridge I tested showed the correct azimuth when it was literally way off from vertical. I thought I had a bad cartridge. I sent it to PL for evaluation.According to PL,... | |
| P3-24 pitch instability There is something wrong there. I hope you can get it corrected. | |
| Measure My Turntable Speed I do have the KAB Strobe and disc. I am not 100% confident on its accuracy. I used Feickert's Adjust Pro + and his test record. When Adjust tells me I am dead on, KAB says otherwise by a significant amount.I ended up using a Fluke DMM and measured... | |
| Quiet Tonearms/cartidges?? I do a lot of late night listening and use headphones. LPs definitely have all sorts of noise using headphones. Through my amp and speakers, I hardly notice the surface noise. | |
| Stylus Force Gauge I don't know about others but the one I have eats batteries like crazy. I think there is something strange about the power circuit. This is the same one that Sorasound sells. | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? The vinylengine site on JMW arms states 262mm spindle to pivot distance for 10.5i. That is not even close on my Aries 3. I measured it myself and it matched Yip's number. The Tractor does sound great but I think the VPI jig has it's own sound whic... | |
| Count Up Timer Thanks for your response. I want to be more exact and found a cool count up digital timer at a science lab shop.It has a clock plus 4 timers with memory. Cool. | |
| Count Up Timer I'll have to take another look at kitchen timers. The ones I saw were all count downs. And it maxed at 24hours. Any links/source I can check out? | |
| Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor I actually tried Wally before I knew about Mint. He called me right away and asked me to email him some measurements. I did and then never ever heard from him again... | |
| Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor I got to it today. Took about 1 hour. The overhang and effective length was perfect on the Mint so the VPI jig is fine. I inspected with the 10x loupe and it was dead on.The zenith was just so slightly off. You need super light touch. The overhang... | |
| Has anyoe had problems using the mint LP tractor I just rec'd my Tractor for the VPI 10.5i arm. I'll have to find some quality time this weekend to get into it.With the proper lights and the magnifiers, I hope to get it going without too much hair loss. I can see right away that the VPI jig is v... | |
| VPI Scout "tweaks" Maybe copper is better than silver for analog and hence the pennies sound better. I know people love silver for digital!I love bang for buck. |
