| Record Clamps? One advantage of clamps not mentioned, is that all of us do not possess a Record collection with all absolutely flat examples. Thinking back 20-30 years ago to my "clampless days", and watching a tonearm "bob' up, and down like a roller coaster su... | |
| Record Clamps? Jay, I'm not intimately familiar with your Turntable, and its Spindle, is it 1/4"-20 Threaded as the VPI is?In actuality, the VPI Threaded Clamps probably don't fully contact the entire Label Area either, as they are considerably dished, because o... | |
| Record Clamps? Hello Jay, If you're referring to the VPI Type Threaded Clamp, the 2 models (actually 3 if you count the least expensive Jr version Clamp) that VPI make, are two piece, but conjoined, so that when you tighten the Clamp to LP, the bottom portion re... | |
| I got a stylus cleaning kit for, but--------- I've been a ME covert as well, but I do wonder? I wonder what the real worth is of LAST Stylast?I used to use this on a Cartridge now gone, never noted any detriment, never had failures of stylus leaving the cantilever, but let's say if one applie... | |
| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. I won't go into detail where the 12xx tables fit in the hierarchy of analog, but I do believe that one could get away with putting a very nice Cartridge on board, running it though a really good Phono Stage, and get quite surprising results.Seems ... | |

| DIY Record Cleaning Solution I have no problems, but as I say previously, I read your posts "you" provided a link to on the other forum in thier entirety. Thank you for sharing those with all of us here, they clear up, any doubts "which camp" you come from. Mark | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Maclogan,Probably nobody will follow up to your post, or has any interest in your link due to the "heated volatility" that these commercial vs DIY threads produce.I read the Threads you pointed to in the other forum in its entirety. Let's bypass t... | |
| VPI clamping system design flaw? As for other VPI Clamps, (I've had a few) I don't believe you'll find a difference in the basic design, meaning that the cupped underside of all VPI Clamps will be exactly the same.The only basic differences, is the conveniences of a one piece Cla... | |
| Questions about VPI TNT-MK-IV Platters Hello Tobes, Thank you for confirming what I suspected.I might be wrong, but I've pretty much concluded that all of the older non-inverted Bearings, other than the HW-19Jr Platter-Bearing, used a Rubber O-Ring on Spindle.I assue the person is prob... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP I haope I'm not dragging this thread out, and "wasting" Bandwidth by responding again.I do agree Nrenter. I'm not at all upset spending what I did for the Mintlp Protractor, he does include a nice Lighted Magnifier, a small trial bottle of record ... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP Hello Nrenter,I've had a few Protractors over the years, first the Mo-Fi Geodisc about 10 years ago.Then Doug Deacon suggested the Turntable Basics Protractor to me, and I thought it was better than the Geodisc, being a Mirror, having two Null Gri... | |
| Questions about VPI TNT-MK-IV Platters Hello Peter,Yes, I understand what you have said, and this is common knowledge. This of course is not what I am speaking of. This thread was started from another thread I initiated, about the use of a Dial Indicator to zero the vertical runout of ... | |
| Technics SL1200: standard overhang gauge or MintLP Nice to see a thread, where once, we all seem to agree about something! Yep, the Mintlp Protractor is superb, no doubt about it. The TB Protractor isn't bad, but everybody seems to note differences in alignment when comparing the two, so with that... | |
| Another good Tool for VPI Table Holy moley Jean, what a system! Very unusual I must say, I never seen such a configuration on a Turntable.Just awesome! Mark |
