| VPI Speed Problem Forget it 'Reb1208'-you're dealing with the Scientologists of Audio. Once again, D. Pogue has jacked this thread, apparently because the interest level at the 'Homedespot' thread has died. Not to worry Dave-I'm sure JN has simply realized that he,... | |
| Where to buy record cleaning fluids "Dry LP's with a drilling machine as a kind of centrifuge."That's something I'd like to see. Please post a video on YouTube. | |
| VPI Speed Problem Hey, Srwooten, we must have posted at almost the same time. Good advice, though.(-: | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? I own several SAEC knife-edge tonearms, and though the workmanship is gorgeous (watch-like in a way) the called-for alignment strategy is off the charts, and not in a good way. Fortunately, they can be returned to Planet Earth by changing the pres... | |
| VPI Speed Problem If you bought the tt new, it should have a strobe disc-with that, you don't need a 'strobe'-a fluorescent, or even an incandescent light, held over the strobe disc, will 'flash' at 60 cycles to make the scale on the disc appear to stabilize when t... | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? Thom-No, the JMW arms are not easily adjusted at their mounting position on the plinth. Thankfully, it's easy-at least, as easy as any arm-to measure spindle to pivot. Pulling the arm reveals the pivot point, and believe me, it's a 'point'-the gre... | |
| Two Arm Turntables Holy Crap-2100.00?Is that what JN charges for those god-awful monstrosities that he calls a 'plinth'? To call them 'ugly' is to give the less-good-looking of the world a bad name. Still, and I suppose, if you're happy....but from the brief time I'... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Agree with you 'Tfkaudio', and I feel shame. Even though 'Oregon' initially jacked the thread, I should have taken the high road and let it slide. Still, as I first posted, we have yet to know if the OP has checked the actual platter speed, which ... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Hurry on back to your J.N. lovefest girls, where you and the rest of the adoring sycophants gaze starry-eyed at the world's most unlikely audio guru. Cry out with joy and admiration as J.N. produces another of the most god-awful- ugly turntable 'm... | |
| Two Arm Turntables I sense a willingness to buy used, and have a custom plinth made. As such, I'd say look at either your afore-mentioned Garrard, or a Technics SP-10 MKII, or even better, MKIII. Albertporter (look him up here) sold his 40k Walker after buying a Tec... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Agree-buy that cheaply-built, worst-of-the-idlers Lenco-why, you could even have 'Oregon' build a plinth for it! Coincidentally, I'm sure. Then, when sleep seems impossible, start reading one of Jean Nantais' epic-length, chest-thumping and self-c... | |
| Need a good, general guide to turntable setup You can also rent the Fremer dvd:http://smartflix.com/store/video/5254/21st-Century-Vinyl | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD Hdm-I understood that you were talking about a different record, so I guess my comprehension meets your standards, but you might have avoided a prolonged back-and-forth by reiterating in your second post that there were two different albums at pla... | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? Talk with Steve at 'The Analog Dept.'http://www.theanalogdept.com/He made me a very nice arc protractor for my 12.5 after I, too, failed to get one from Mint (though at some point I hope Mint can do one for me). Not made to the same standards as t... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Have you checked the speed with a strobe? |
