| Anyone with Rhea and Shelter 501MkII? Thanks. | |
| Anyone with Rhea and Shelter 501MkII? I'm looking for phono stage settings - load and gain.The Shelter recommended load impedance section is confusing.What is compliance, btw? | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Umm, that just went over my head. What's a NAB test disc, and how do you measure output voltage from a preamp? | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Thanks for the response, Carter.I did purchase quite a few RealTraps (too much actually, have to sell a bunch). I have only 4 of them in place - they turned out to be too cumbersome - my room looked like a junkyard with more of them. They didn't s... | |
| VPI Headshell weight question That's strange. The weight is very thin - While I had to adjust VTF & VTA, it didn't make that type of difference. | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Hi Redtop.I don't use a sub. My room is soundproofed and retains bass energy. My current speakers are Aerial Model 9s - a bad match as these are bass heavy speakers that overload the room. So when playing any other source besides my turntable, I g... | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? Just to answer a few questions:- I'm not auditioning speakers with the TT, I'm using various sources (CDs etc)- I'm currently using a Tube Box SE II while my Rhea is being repaired. My dealer adjusted the load settings. Thanks again for the advice... | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? I'm not giving up on the VPI that quickly. It has truly opened my eyes to the amount of detail you can get with LPs. I'm still enjoying it, and I do love the fact that it can be upgraded, tweaked, etc.Up until recently, I didn't have the confidenc... | |
| Installing a VPI stainless steel ring? Yup, I know where they go, they came in place, but it seems that simply handling the ring means my fingers touch the outside, inevitably causing them to roll off. My guess is that they are simply too lose.Noting that the center ring also has two r... | |
| Installing a VPI stainless steel ring? Let me ask another question while I'm at it:What's with the two black rubber belts around the perimeter? They fall off I pick up the ring and it takes two people to get it back on... only to fall off again. | |
| VPI Headshell weight question So I got brave enough to install the headshell weight. Even though it was my first time doing any adjustments, I took my time, watched Fremer's DVD and thought I did a good job.I have VTF at the high end of the cartridge recommendation. I adjusted... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 I just tried my Perfection again. If I fill it up all the way, I get enough for a full application (before running out of steam and having to reheat).Sometimes on the 2nd applications (about 20-30 seconds later) I can run out though.I do have the ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Question for all you experts;Would not an extra steam application (without use of any cleaners) be the equivalent of a rinse? The best water I have is simply distilled and I'm wondering what my best option (with distilled) is to rinse - pour on di... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Halcro, I am using the same attachment as Stltrains does in his video.Crem1: Yes, it's the perfection and I'll replace it. | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Crem1, I'm using the one recommended in this thread (the one Strltrains used in his video) - forget the name offhand. |
