| VPI Classic Cartridge Help The Classic will come with a Stylus Force Scale (Shure), and a VPI Cartridge Alignment Jig. If you can set up a Cartridge like the Ortofon Blue, you could set up a Koetsu Coralstone as well. If you've liked the Ortofon Blue, found it's output adeq... | |
| VPI Classic Cartridge Help I think it's not so much a question of what Cartridge will work well with the JMW Arm, but what will ideally work with the WestTWO Phono Stage? Keep in mind gents, the OP stated a Cartridge between $5-$700, not $5K-$7K. :-)Only by reading the revi... | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP I;m sorry Doug if I didn;t quote word for word what you maybe said to me almost 3 years ago, but I think I came pretty close. Your advice, and some common sense dictated to me, that I hadn't used such on an audio-vinyl system for the past 35 years... | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP The Cardas LP is said to be made of a harder vinyl formulation if that's of any help. Mark | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP Hello Nolitan,About 2-1/2 to 3 years ago, I posed some similar questions to Doug Deacon about this record. Not so much about how long I could, or should use it, but was it a worthy tool to even use at all?I had the older Cardas LP, and had just bo... | |
| VPI SDS use question I posted at audio asylum, directly to Harry Weisfield of VPI,, the possible issues about initial voltage at the SDS, which I believed should be exactly 115V.Harry concurred, and said yes, that start up voltages should be 115V, and if not, to give ... | |
| VPI PLATTER Bob brings up some very good points. Back in '97, when I purchased my HW-19Jr, the 6lb frosted acrylic Platter was like yours, the Bearing-Spindle was a press fit, and I never felt inclined to somehow seperate it, for fear of knocking the surface ... | |
| VPI SDS use question Ok.I believe it was once our wise fellow agon member Nsgarch, who gave good, valuable advice about the VPI SDS, in that the lowest ramp down voltage of 72V may not always be the best-optimum choice per a given application.Although, I myself have n... | |
| VPI SDS use question I could be wrong, but something doesn't sound right to me with your unit.As I understand it, the VPI SDS will ramp down to a selected Voltage, and this ramp down voltage is user selectable-adjustable, via the calibration mode. The calibration mode... | |
| VPI bearing oil/grease? I'll try to clear this up a bit.Yep, the newer, inverted Bearing use-require grease.The older, non-inverted, well type bearings used Oil.When Mike at VPI suggested-recommended an Oil such as Mobil 1, either 5-50W, or 10-30W, he wasn't haphazardly ... | |
| Cleaning a VPI Super Platter? I've typically used Glass Plus on my VPI MK-IV Platter with no problems. Either use, a Micro Fiber Cloth, or I've even used 100% pure Sterilized roll Cotton since I always keep some lying around here. I also use the Roll Cotton for applying Novus ... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Peterayer,The best way I can describe AIVS #15 PreCleaner, it is like the Enzymatic Formula on Steroids.As far as I can tell, no Alcohols are in this product, and I was told it contains not one, but two broadband vegetable based Enzymes.As I under... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Peterayer,And I will still revert back to the last paragraph on my first post on 7-10-10 in this thread, where I said my VPI 16.5 with AVIS Cleaning products will give better results than a $4,000 Loricraft, or a $5200 Clearaudio Double Matrix wit... | |
| VPI service problems I can perhaps understand, why in cases like this, the moderators "moderate" before the posts hit the boards.The amount of responses are staggering at audio asylum, and after all was said, it appears the jury is still out.My intentions, were to be ... | |
| VPI service problems DC, As I mentioned, McMaster-Carr handles rubber, and foam rubber in about 12 different types. Can be gotten in adhesive backed, or non-adhesive backed. And the sizes are so diverse, one can find anything one wants.I suspect VPI used a "lowly" Neo... |
