| Has anybody tried the new ORG release Pop Pop Couple of posts concerning it on a recent VA thread. Seemed to be some disappointment concerning noisy vinyl, but I'd suggest you do a search at Vinyl Asylum. | |
| JMW9 setup tracking problems... need help Note to Veridian-My post above was written referencing your post *before* your one above this one-take that into account when reviewing context. Looks like we're pretty much in agreement. | |
| JMW9 setup tracking problems... need help Veridian-Nice response-analytical backed with experience. Though I've not tried the dl-103 series on 20 (!) arms, I do have some experience. I've got a couple of DL-103Rs, a DL-103, a 103r with VdH Type 1 cantilever and stylus, and a Zu 103r. My a... | |
| JMW9 setup tracking problems... need help "....looks like the arm doesnt need it, the counterwheight is in the middle when I set up this cartridge."The purpose of the added weight has naught to do with VTF, but with tweaking the arm resonance relative to the dynamic compliance of the cart... | |
| JMW9 setup tracking problems... need help One other thing-be sure the wires connected to the cart are tucked up into the headshell well enough to clear the vinyl. | |
| JMW9 setup tracking problems... need help Agree with Rushton-the DL103 is not the problem. *I previously had a Scout/JMW 9 that worked fine with this cart, and many, many others at VA have reported the same.*The compliance of the DL103 is not as low as the spec sheet seems to show, due to... | |
| MM vs MC If ever there was a subject for the 'search' function.... | |
| What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R? Mmike84-Thanks for the comparo. Much appreciated. | |
| Looking for tabletop ideas for VPI 16.5RCM Love these threads. The guy's looking for a table, but he gets record cleaning advice. Go figure.Maybe I should join in, and tell the OP what snow tires to buy. | |
| Neil Young Live at Massey Hall 200 g LP, Fenderny-Ironically, at the concerts that I've seen him with Crazy Horse, I wished *he'd* quiet down! Way, way too loud. Don't recall any on-stage shushing from his acoustic concerts, but that was awhile ago. Probably getting cranky in his old age... | |
| Looking for tabletop ideas for VPI 16.5RCM As a bonus to the IKEA purchase, you'll be able to use the word 'FORHOJA' a lot more than you'd normally be able to. "Reckon I'll roll out the ol' FORHOJA", "Time to put FORHOJA to bed", etc. etc. Yes, your SO will become sick of it almost immedia... | |
| Looking for tabletop ideas for VPI 16.5RCM Do you want 'furniture', or 'utility'? What's your budget? I assume you'll want it at least table height (28") up to counter height (36"). The casters will probably need to lock, since it sounds like you do some vigorous scrubbing.IKEA has several... | |
| What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R? Kkurtis-Thanks for your notes on the Denon DL-S1. I've often wondered if that cart would be a more refined 103 or 103r, but as you said, it's rarely reviewed, even on the blogs (occasionally someone will seek an opinion on VA, but only the cricket... | |
| Can I RENT a record cleaning machine? Just buy a used 16.5, clean your records, and re-sell it. Your total cost for the machine 'rental' will be the price of the initial shipping.Though I'd recommend hanging on to it-unless you've decided that you'll never purchase another record. | |
| Differences between Technics SP10 and SP25? Raul, this spec sheet for (virtually) all Technics decks shows the specs for the SP10 MK2 exactly the same as the SL-12XXMK2, the SP-25, and the SP-15.http://www.vintagetechnics.info/turntables.htmAlso, the owners manual for the SP-10MK2 verifies ... |
