| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I bought a pair of Dunlavy SC 3's eleven years ago. I have a little subwoofer (VS1 10", self powered) so I am covered on the low end. I hardly use the sub and I'll keep these speakers forever! | |
| Sony PS-X7 direct drive, slipping at 33 RPM Lewm and Johnss, thanks very much for your input. I really appreciate it. I'll start looking into finding an electronics shop that can do this sort of stuff. best regards | |
| Sony PS-X7 direct drive, slipping at 33 RPM Ekobesky. Wow, what a fast and thorough response. I do have the old manual, and I even think I have the shematics. I'll take a look to address your suggestions. Thank you much!!! | |

| VPI Scoutmaster is showing signs of life Glad to hear that you are finally liking what you are "hearing". I too have a Scoutmaster. When I found a Sonic Frontiers SFP1 Signature phono pre-amp for sale, I snatched it up. I had a technician replace the caps (don't know which one's he used)... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? I have a "budget buster" set-up, with a Scoutmaster as my turntable. I don't have SDS, I don't have the periphial ring, I don't have the super platter and I don't have any measuring gadgets to analyze the sound spectrum, save for my ears. I run th... | |
