| Great sounding new vinyl I just wanted to thank everyone for contributing to this thread. As someone who got into vinyl fairly recently and discovered there's a lot of hit and miss, it's been very helpful to read this... albeit rather expensive since I just ordered a bunc... | |
| Lindsey Buckingham I have the commercial CD and the sound quality is terrible. Everything sounds thin, no bass. | |
| Load Settings for Dynavector 20XL? Thanks, guys. This is the area of vinyl that I still don't quite get, so I much appreciate the advice!Ian | |
| Mint Tractor Well, it's hard to say exactly and here's why: I changed cartridges, so it's not like I can truly judge the sound difference to be a result of the tractor setup. Also have to consider that a new cart needs to break in.Additionally, I ran out of my... | |
| Mint Tractor I brought another light into the equation this morning and realized that I wasn't as accurate with Step A as I thought... so I started over. Every time I think I had it, I walked away and came back fresh a half hour later. If it looked good I move... | |
| Mint Tractor Small update: with fresh eyes I did see that the cantilever angle is a bit off. I find this part the hardest to determine because I have to use one angle to see if the lines are parallel and then tilt up a bit to see the angle of the cantilever...... | |

| Installing a VPI stainless steel ring? I'm not sure I *needed* a ring, either, but I do like the sonic improvements it offers. It's actually worth the extra hassle.From everything I've been told here, I'm guessing a cartridge change will address my midbass issue, which I will try somed... | |
| Installing a VPI stainless steel ring? Hi Hukk,Yeah, it was hard to heed that advice, especially when I noticed that too many records are slightly warped and the needle is jumping up and down.The ring works wonders in these cases. | |
| Can someone suggest a turntable shelf? While I bought a shelf, I've never opened it and am going to sell it. I do think I need to buy a better, more solid rack though. Mine is very wobbly. | |
| Anyone with Rhea and Shelter 501MkII? Aesthetix recommended a low output cartridges to me (which I assume means higher gain at the phono stage), so that seems right. | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Bought a new Perfection.Unfortunately it's no different. I can clean 2 records; after that I can only get 8 seconds of steam at a time - not enough to do a side of an LP. I wait for the red light to go off (indicating the unit is ready to steam ag... |
