VPI CLASSIC 3 PLATTER
Wenol is great and so is Flitz. I Pledge (for light fingerprints) followed by Wendol with a microfiber cloth used both to wipe it on and polish it.M~ 
Question For VPI Super Scoutmaster Owners
I have both a Classic-3 arm and a complete Classic-1 armtube/arm assy. There is a real quantifiable difference between the two. I don't know if this correlates as to the/a difference between a 9 and a Classic 3 armtube/arm assembly. But the differ... 
VPI Classic hum
I received my Aries 3 yesterday and set it up today. The motor hum is G-O-N-E. It took a long time, but it was worth it. Thanks again to Bassraptor, Bifwynne and Macdadtexas for all your help.M~ 
Soundsmith Carmen vs. Dynavector 20x2H
The 10X5 is better period. smoother better articulation, bass, treble and imaging, it's even "better" than the Shure/Jico combo. But it's so darn delicate and fragile looing. I mean that stylus is hanging out there saying "break me." It really was... 
Soundsmith Carmen vs. Dynavector 20x2H
Try a Shure M97XE with a Jico SAS. Use the original stylus for records that are in poor condition and the Jico stylus for records that are in good or better condition. BTW, I have a Soundsmith Carmen and Othello. Also, I had a Dynavector 10X5 whic...

Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR
Try the SAS in the Shure, it has a more neutral presentation than the Grado and will handle those records that are in less than stellar condition a lot better than the Grado from my experience. However, only you can make the final determination as...

VPI Classic motor question
It was $150.00 plus the shipping, and I got the new pulley. I never had any problem with removing and installing either pulley. I just loosen the screws, removed the pulley, did what ever it was that I had to do and put it back on and tighten it "... 
VPI Classic motor question

vpi classic works with music hall cruise control
I wouldn't do it, but that's me. Also, because VPI knows their products and I trust their knowledge. But at the worst, you'll take out the motor and Music Hall unit. The VPI motor is about $150.00 plus any capacitors/resistors (I forgot what the c... 
Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3
I'm using the platter, arm, and feet from my Classic. :-)Trust me. Call them, and see if they have something in place for you to trade your table in and get what you want and for them to get what they want. They may even have a blemished one or so...

VPI Classic hum
Bassraptor RE"I did a whole lock-stock-and-barrel change. The provided arms with each deck don't seem to be drop-in exchangeable units, unless, I suppose, one removes the arm base/mount as well."I remove the entire arm and mounting assembly, this ...
