VPI motor makes loud pops when turned on & off
Motor runs fine, but still pops as before with the .001Joe 
VPI motor makes loud pops when turned on & off
It has (1) F.001K 660PP and also (1) .68uf which I believe is for the motor phasing. Both look absolutely new, but I guess that does not mean they are good..I will try to replace the F.001K.Question: Can I use a .0022 600 Mylar instead of the .001... 
Zyx Airy 3 Cartridge into Herron VTPH-1 Phono..
I do have the MC+ version Herron, so .24 is fine..I put in the 100 ohm resistors and the sound has literally come alive. It sounds great. Conclusion: don't leave it at 47kohms - add the proper load resistors for the cartridge.Thanks to all,Joe

Zyx Airy 3 Cartridge into Herron VTPH-1 Phono..
Thanks to all for your advice on my Zyx .24 Airy 3 to Herron setup..I now have the Caddock MK 132 resistors to try (thanks to Pbaudio), and I also purchased a set of the Texas Components TX2575 (100 ohms and .005 tolerance!) which I will try as we... 
ZeroDust still the best?
I tried the Magic Eraser with my Zerodust afterwards..It worked great, and I can really hear the difference that a clean stylus makes. I liked it so much that I made a wood cleaning station for my Nottingham using both the magic eraser and my zero...

This is an excellent thread.It is a good chance to exchange advice, experiences and views.I have been using the Feickert, and I find it easily accurate to 1/10th of a millimeter, and able to do things that none of the others can...to explain.. I n... 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
Hi Again..I just wanted to explain how I get my overhang with the Feickert. (there seems to be some confusion about needing additional tools or protractors, and multiple arc points)1. Set up the Feickert measurement tool to measure your spindle to... 
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
I have used quite a few different models, including the turntablebasics mirrored protractor as well as the db systems protractor.Most were good, with the db systems getting the best results in my direct comparisons.But all of this didn't matter af... 
What goes beneath your Nottingham?
I have my Spacedeck on a heavy welded steel rack, so I first used isolation in the form of Vibrapods and Vibrapod Cones.. This worked well with the stock Spacedeck and base. But.. Later on I found a thread on Audiogon which spoke about placing one... 
TT+tonearm under $5k
Buying used, mint condition turntables is very easy on Audiogon, and the good ones do ship perfectly. You can also drive to pick one up yourself as mentioned above.My suggestion -(and also exactly what I did)Buy a mint Nottingham Spacedeck with th... 
OK, record is now clean, how about the Stylus?
Markd51's comment above was a good one.The day I got my Zerodust, I made a wooden base about 3 inches tall for it. I sprayed this gloss black to match my turntable, and put thin felt on the bottom. Now it's just a matter of sliding it over and 3 l...

I just got a pair of Magellan Quatuor SW2's to go with my Herron Audio electronics. (Tube phono & preamp with SS monoblocks.) They sound great! I have pics in my AG virtual system - search Herron..
