VPI Scout running FAST...help?
Actually there should be three set screws at the bottom of the pulley. I just replaced my old 600 RPM motor with the 300 RPM motor, I had to, the old one was dying. Then I had to wait another 2 weeks for VPI to ship me out the new pulley that I wo...

Need "warm" interconnects advice
So it looks to me as if you are seeking a warm interconnect to tame some of the brightness of the Nordost Valhalla speaker cables.Yes, Jade cables are warm and sweet, and would definitely help. So would replacing the Nordost Valhalla with just abo... 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
Congrats on the new speakers. Enjoy! 
Budget $3000-3500 new or used
Buying speakers unheard is always a dicey proposition. I only consider used speakers which I have not heard if the seller is local and I have a chance to audition. Sure, you could always resell them if they do not work, but buying and selling spea...

I have had troubles getting them on the phone, but they have been responding to e-mails within 24 hours. My guess is as Mofi suggests, the Axpona show has them a bit back logged. I know they were late getting my new pulley out to me. In fact, I'm ...

Cerious Technologies Nano Reference. Bob Grost sells them brand new here on Audiogon for $275/meter. I think they are very tough to beat for the money, unless you are looking for a softer, warmer sound. These tend to be fairly revealing, though I ...

Dumb VTA Question
Bruce, you will note that in the first photo of the analogplanet link that Mofi posted, Mikey is also using the digital microscope to set up a Lyra Kleos cartridge, just like yours. Great links Mofi!Cheers,John

Wow man! The prices are really climbing on those cords too! Classic old cord prices are climbing faster than NOS tube prices!! Used to be you could grab a Dominus for around $700. Even the Elrods I bought a few months ago cost $100-$200 more a cor...
