| cleaning with VPI 16.5 and Mobile Fidelity brushes I use the same as you do, with AIVS Cleaning Fluids.I usually dribble a little of the cleaner forst onto the brush pad. Then I do just squirt the cleaners-rinses directly to the records. Some might say this isn't advisable, but I act quickly, the ... | |
| VPI Enthusiasts: Going Backwards? I agree with much of what you say Islandmandan, the tweaks, attention paid to great set-up (BestTractor) does help. I think I'd be correct saying that every Table Harry W ever made was "tweakable", and ole Harry must be a tweaker at heart, never r... | |
| VPI Enthusiasts: Going Backwards? Not sure there are any current mods-parts available currently off the shelf that would significantly take the HW-19 beyond what Harry W. done 12 years ago with the HW-19 MK-IV Model, with SAMA-TNT/MK-IV Platter.Virtually any Arm your heart desires... | |
| VPI HW19MKIV huming motor Yes, as I understand it, the SDS should go direct to the wall. You're actually plugging a power conditioner, into a power conditioner, which to me, makes little sense.Yes, when the SDS is first turned on, with the turntable plugged into it, but wi... | |
| VPI HW19MKIV huming motor The SDS should be directly connected straight to an outlet, not another power conditioner.You left out some details. Does the SDS read 115V when you first power it up, and when first powering up the motor on the HW-19? It is supposed to, then ramp... | |
| din cable recommendation Stanwal, Sounds like a good cable, has it prooved quiet?The seller seems to make no mention of length in his ads? Do you know what the standard, advertised length is? Thanks, Mark | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? I don't think this has been mentioned, and am not at all sure what value-worth this info has.Years ago, I had this problem as well, a ringing in my ears. After working 30 years in a railroad yard, I think many can understand why.I seen a ear docto... | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX 4D Hello Doug/All,I had to backtrack through the entire thread, and re-read all of my posts, and I didn't find where I specifically said the ZYX takes 100's of hours for break in? (it appears I'm the only "mark" in this thread) :-)I have been a good ... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? +2 to what vinyladdict has said, I'm betting this is the culprit. Mark | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX 4D What I wonder then, is where does the blame for such get placed? Is it then the sole fault of the Cartridge, the possibility of a mismatch of Arm Mass-Cartridge, or is it perhaps also a fault of the Arm design, being a Unipivot?I know Myles previo... | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX 4D Firstly Stefanoo, ZYX Cartidges do have a lenghty break in time. I suspect the 4D to be no different than the Airy 3, Universe-Atmos in this regard. How many hours now you figure you've logged?The Shure VTF Gauge works, but I always questioned min... | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout Tzh,If you think it is vibration, from perhaps possible interaction from speakers, one way to eliminate that possibility, is try the set-up with headphones, or play at a lower spl level.I've owned a couple of Benz Cartidges, the Glider, and the Ru... | |
| VPI Classic Platter Mred, Could I believe something like that, that the Super Platter was Harry's best commercially available Platter in the history of VPI? I'll say yes, it probably was, followed by the TNT, and MK-IV Lead Filled Black Acrylic Platters. Even Mr. Sal... | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout Not enough info to fully diagnose the problems? We'd all be just guessing at this point.A MM Cartridge will most likely have even more output, and would help nothing if you are going into the same phono stage without changing anything else.But I s... | |
| VPI Classic Platter As I understand it, the machined Classic Platter weighs 18 lbs, and 20 lbs with Bearing included.The Super Platter, that was made to fit all VPI Tables other than the HR-X, was 25 lbs. The HR-X Super Platter was 30 lbs.And I made a small error ear... |
