| VPI Classic Platter Iwould think just for weight, and mass alone, the Super Platter probably had no peer.For any who would want a true "super platter", maybe give Thom Mackris a ring. I'm sure he'll put you into a Galibier Stelvio Platter, and Bearing. A whopping 42 ... | |
| Are there any headshells with adjustable canting? Hello, One I know of, that's easy to get, is the Sumiko HS-12 Headshell, commonly available from the large audio vendors. This does have an adjustment for Azimuth, via a Allen Set Screw. Simply loosen, rotate in the direction needed, and tighten. ... | |
| Jelco St-250/Audioquest PT6 the exact same? As far as I know, the AQ-6-7-8 Arms were all the same, the only differences were, the Tonearm Cable they threw in with the Arm determined what they were called.It appears the SA-250ST is the same, but as Delihaus has explained, no damping trough e... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Not sure if this was mentioned in this thread (I don't think so)that the lastest version of the VPI Classic is now being made with solid Walnut Sides, rather than Laminated Walnut. The newest version has more rounded edges, that it looks more akin... | |
| How long for cartridge break-in? He re's some things nobody mentioned.Sure, the DC Player may sound more dynamic, of course have a much lower signal-noise ratio, and knock the house down with more bass, without acoustic break up.Measures can be taken to enhance these qualities I ... | |
| VPI SDS question I shut off, and turn mine one for every play. One reason why? The SDS has a built in hour meter. It is sort of nice to be able to keep track of hours of play on my Cartridge.I see no inconvenience taking less than a second to flip the switch. Are ... | |
| TT Weights VPI center clamp I'm going by memory here, but I think I can remember a long time back, one, or some VPI owners disliking the Rubber Spindle Washer (as Doug recently brings up in this thread) and substituted a Carbon Fiber Washer of the same-similar dimensions as ... | |
| Removing fine scratch marks from VPI plinth Right on Chayro. Good Points. Mark | |
| Removing fine scratch marks from VPI plinth Novus Polishes are what most Plastics Companies suggest to use. One can also use 3M Hand Glazes and get very good results as well. The key with any product you use, will be always to use the least agressive product. It is better to use something l... | |
| TT Weights VPI center clamp I had forgotten, that such a topic, like all other audio topics can have as many opinions as there are posters.Should the moderators permit, this could probably be a thread that could numbers into the dozens of posts.Most feel the benefit of a cla... | |
| TT Weights VPI center clamp Yes, it is a concern, and one reason I wouldn't want a TT Clamp for free no matter how pretty it looks. The other major reason is, is this manufacturer veered from the original VPI design, in that the underside of the TT Clamp bears no similarity ... | |
| VPI HW-17 I won't discuss the choice of fluids in this thread, only to say that any RCM is only as good as the Cleaning Fluids, and Rinses you use.And lastly, chuck the Discwasher Brush, or give it away.Mark | |
| VPI Classic and ZYX Airy 3 X SB...good match? One thing that concerns me about test records, is whether they can be relied upon? What if on test tracks, groove damage is eventually created? Then, is it an accurate means to judge?Akin to the old saying (or something like it) "If a Bear farts i... | |
| What oil for VPI HW19 turntable? I don't leave cotton from a Q-Tip laying inside the Bearing Well! And if one, or two microscopic strands of cotton did get left behind, please tell me what harm it will cause? I'll answer that question for you, absolutely none at all! Whatever one... | |
| What oil for VPI HW19 turntable? VPI no doubt still sells the conventional bearing oil lube that was used for the HW-19. Mike at VPI, being the good guy he is also recommended that Mobil 1 would be a good substitute as well. I don't think one would have any problem with the multi... |
