| Stylus tracking weight guage Hello Dan_Ed/All,Yes, as Larry has explained, I've done just like that, setting the Scale alongside Platter, on a Deck of Cards, getting the Scale's Platform to the exact same height, as with record in play on Platter.I believe the Proscale LC-50,... | |
| VPI 16.5 Problem A common, and easily rectifiable problem with the 16.5.The center of the cork mat is removeable. that this carefully off. Then you will see 3 attachment screws that hold the Platter to the Motor-Platter Arbor. Remove them, and lift Platter off.The... | |
| best value - record cleaning machine I want to say, to all, if my post sounded abrasive, trust me, I haven't intended such, and I think all you folks are a great bunch of people.I'm certainly not implying that the VPI method is superior, or perhaps npt even inferior as well, but it i... | |
| best value - record cleaning machine Jazdoc, Honestly, why is any of the VPI Machines only a decent value if you only just have a few records? Your statements I feel are misleading, and false in this regard.Of course RCM's like the Loricraft are built better, and you pay considerably... | |
| Stylus tracking weight guage Not to take business waway from anybody else, but do a search for the Proscale LC-50 from Old Will Knott Scales.Mine was $32 shipped, uses 2 AA Batteries, weighs absolutely dead accurate. checked via a huge host of Lab Reference Weights. weighs up... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In Probably after what has been written, you might be saying to yourself, "Oh man, maybe I made a mistake buying this Cartridge, if this Cartridge is that particular, and picky about set up"?While I don't own this particular Cartridge, I'd probably b... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In To reiterate what has been said, I think important things to check, will be of course, as others have mentioned, highly critical attention to proper Cartridge alignment. This pretty much is a given with such world class Cartridges, and you'll note... | |
| Speed control VPI HW19jr I've owned a HW-19, and it was a Jr for probably 10-11 years, bought new in '97 at MusicDirect in Store. It never drifted, and I owned a KAB Strobe since probably '99. or so. Was it off? Sure it was, it ran ever so slightly slow, and this was no f... | |
| Zyx Universe Break In There's mucho written here on the UNIverse, and some of Doug Deacon's reviews you'll find as well, read them, I highly recommend it, as Doug is the UNI Guru, and the strongest of all ZYX proponents.I own the Uni's little sister, the Airy 3X SB. ye... | |
| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart Cheapest, most cost efficient route for a good Protractor, would be the Turntable Basics Mirror Protractor. Better choices, but more costly, would be the Ken Willis Arc Protractor, or the MintLP Protractor from Hong Kong. This Arm uses Baerwald Nu... | |
| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart Zen,This is common with the HW-19, and when I got my own HW-19Jr back in 1997, what I noted VPI had done to achieve proper Plinth Height, was they added one Rubber Spindle Washer underneath each Sorbothane Puck to slightly raise the Plinth height.... | |
| Visiting with friends and Walker Audio Sounds like Goosebump City, Rushton!Can I assume the possibility of more upcoming upgrades right around the corner with your rig? Have any kids that you can possibly sell to offset costs? lol :-)Sounds like all had a really great time! Nice write-... | |
| VPI hw19jr Audioquest PT-8 arm G-ring 1042 cart Zen, I don't think anybody answered your question though, about seeking a good Tonearm Cable.There are of course many Cables out there, but the really good Cables will far exceed your bracket price.One Cable, that I have never tried, but caught my... | |
| VPI motor Yes, I believe the Pulley is a press fit onto the Motor Shaft, and is retained by an Allen Set Screw. Just be careful removing, and replacing, as I believe the material is only Delrin. Mark | |
| Help VPI SDS Issue Hmm, This sort of sounds odd, that VPI's own Table isn't compatible with thier own SDS, then one has to rip into the Turntable, to swap a Cap? Shouldn;t be I say, but if that's what it needs, then that would be the route I would go.My HW-19 uses a... |
