| What is your cartridge and tracking force used Can you not use the fine adjustment screw at the rear of the arm to adjust VTF without upsetting azimuth? | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI I gave up on it. Happy with switching wands and not worrying. | |
| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... I heard the speakers in NJ; I live in Massachusetts. It was 4.5 hours each way.The dealer was excellent as was the speakers (overall). I'm sure setup could be tweaked a little - as it's subjective to a certain degree (apparently you smooth out hum... | |
| Benz Ruby vs Ebony Thom,As I mentioned, I did visit that site to try and find the info. Check that page carefully and you'll see that there are 3 Ebony models and 2 Ruby models, and all 5 are $3500. | |
| SSM Super Platter help please So I think I answered some of my own questions.I used the thin silver washer with the new boltI replaced the beltI just didn't use the two thick black washers - I'm assuming these are for another VPI model.Sound correct? | |

| Von Schweikert VR5SE / Aerial 20T V2 ? Are you saying the Vandy 5As *are* directional or not? I heard them yesterday and thought they had a very wide dispersion. | |
| Dynavector cartridge upgrade decision Referring to Raul's post, how does the tonearm make that much difference? I thought the cartridge and phonostage were the things that shaped the sound. Should I be considering a different tonearm than the JMW 9 sig?What does the Zyx Universe cost ... | |
| Can a Scoutmaster use the VPI Rim Drive Thanks, Stringreen. | |
| Good Analog EQ I've heard the 9's in my family room and they sounded MUCH better. Unfortunately, I cannot make them work in my (theater) room. I've tried them 5' from back wall & 3' from sides (had them far out as 8'). I can barely hear singers the midrange ... | |
| Good Analog EQ Besides mixing, these are probably used for analog mastering. | |
| Good Analog EQ Strange that the high end EQs used in the pro audio world aren't considered by audiophiles. For example, there are some very expensive Parametric EQs by Manley (who also makes the Steelhead phono pre) that are well regarded and probably used durin... |
