| Vpi plinth blueprint for alternate material? If memory serves me correctly, the Plinth Size is 14"x19-9/16".Not so sure about availability of the MK-IV Plinth?This would encompass the Acrylic Plinth, Armboard, or Super Armboard, Metal Sub-Chassis, and one would then need a means of supportin... | |
| Advice on Cartridge and simple way to clean LP Toilet paper, what the hell is that for!? Trust me, I don't wanna know.If it's for drying an LP, there's probably much better choices, some seem to like the micro-fiber cloths for wiping waters off an LP if you're going to do it manually.Yes, Disc... | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus Hello Dan_ed, Yes, I understand, tiny set screws like this don't stand up to too much abuse. Often, an Allen Wrench has to be coaxed to fully seat into the screw before one applies any pressure.I'm not sure about the TriPlanar, having never owned ... | |
| Required Tools for TT Setup & Maintenance Protractor, VTF Scale, a simple folded in 1/2 ruled 3"x5" Index Card to at least start from level VTA, and perhaps having the Cardas Sweep, and Burn LP.I see Mehran of Sorasound currently clearing out a fairly decent VTF Scale, and this will suffi... | |
| Help all ye Triplanar Gurus I would've assumed as much, that the set screw in question was an Allen Screw.I would also assume Triplanar provides a compliment of the correct size Allen Wrenches needed for the Arm, correct?Not to be insulting to our friend here, the original p... | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? Lewm,For my VPI HW-19 MK-IV Platter Bearing, all I use, is the Q-Tips with the long sticks (which are becoming a bugger to find!) and wipe out Bearing Well until I see no more oil on them.I've never let lubricants-oils dry, where I need a solvent ... | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? I would assume when a manufacturer no longer exists, one has to then try to make the best choice as to what lubricant will work best.If one visits Galibier's website, and does a little reading about thier bearings, and bearing principles in genera... | |
| Turntable selection advise Doubtful you'll find a better table for the money, than a Technics 1210 MkII, or Mk5. They're loaded with good, usable features, and will surprise you, that they are a good sounding table.One of the reasons Belt Drive became more popular, was beca... | |
| Doug Decan I think there is a new ZYX 4D cartridge I'm sure once you get up in that neighborhood (as R. DeNiro would say "A very respectable neighborhood"), I'm sure all TOTL Cartridges from Lyra, Benz, Koetsu, Dynavector, Transfiguration, etc, are all breathtaking, and offer truly impeccable soun... | |
| Doug Decan I think there is a new ZYX 4D cartridge Just in case Doug D. doesn't catch this right away...You'll probably find info here if you search, that the 4D here in the USA, is called the Atmos. In the ZYX Family, it resides in between the Airy 3, and the UNIverse. From what I understand as w... | |
| Sunfire Sub Headaches Here's an update on my Sunfire True Sub MK-IV.My Sub was indeed returned, and was recieved back at the repair facility for the second time.I was again repeatedly told that my Sub bench tested out to factory specs. Today, when I called to hopefully... | |
| ittok lift assembly Hello Mark,I know Jelco made Arms for a number of compaies, being Audioquest, Linn, Graham, and I believe others like Sumiko, and perhaps others. (BTW,I seen your query over at the Asylum as well, and see you found the site, and the Lift)The probl... | |
| ittok lift assembly Hello Mark, Don't quote me on this, as I don't profess to be an authority on Linn Arms. But perhaps others can chime in, if this Arm was made in Japan by Jelco, rather than being a Brit made Arm?If so, I believe the Tonearm Lift Assembly can be go... | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI JB, Something sounds wrong to me, as I just took a measurement of my stock VPI Acrylic Wand's slot, and the measurement is exactly 100mm, or 4", which ever you prefer to use. And the measurement of the origin of the slot, measured from the outside... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Madfloyd, To answer your specific question, about using a complete four step Walker regimem on new, or sealed vinyl, and is it a waste of time, or waste of products-money, I feel the answer is no, you will reap benefits with vinyl that will be cle... |
