Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI
JB, Please take the time for a couple of seconds to take a good ruler to the slot, and measure the slot length. Rushton can perhaps help, by confirming the slot size is the same (or not). Ya never know, yours could be slightly short, and this of c... 
Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent
Agreed Rushton, I think life is too short, or full of other things, that would make us normal end users resort to such scientific testing.And that's why we have these forums, to hear of other's findings, because perhaps in some instances, we might... 
Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI
I am not a user of the Vortex, others here can perhaps offer better advice. I'm trying to visualize the whole affair, and will try offering help through a good mechanical background.I suspect that tower height adjustment, with the Delrin Locking C... 
Sunfire Sub Headaches
Hello Riley, I did call, and inquire about "Randy", but he apparently either does not work there anymore, or works in another location, perhaps where Sunfire Electronics are repaired? There are now two locations whcih do repair to Sunfire equipmen... 
Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent
I believe accurate comparison between two such fine products may be a crap shoot, because us end users perhaps only have one criteria to measure by, and that is our ears. As far as scientific analysis, does any of us possess lab equiqpment, or oth... 
Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM
All in all, I'd say the purchase of the VPI 16.5 was a wise one for me. Only regret was not buying one some years back. I've had mine now for about 14 months now, bought new.As we can all probably agree on, the 16.5 cannot be a TOTL Loricraft, but... 
Sunfire Sub Headaches
Hello, thanks for your reply.Yes, I did contact them, but the people you get to speak with over the phone are of little help in 90% of companies like this. They have basically no idea what repairs were done, what parts were changed, etc.All they d... 
Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM
Thank you for your post Zieman,But, the things I'd like to know, is what is the reason behind your assessments? I want to know technically, what makes the Typhoon a quieter machine versus the 16.5? Is it better insulation, is it a different Vacuum... 
Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI
I meant no disrespect to you Rushton, and again, I appreciate the time you have taken to give a thorough account of this product.I still stand by my feeling that this product should've been more reasonably priced. $80 is a lot of Maracas for a tub... 
Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI
I can get an understanding of a re-adjustment of the Wand Tower Height, per Walker's instructions, which I read at Elusive Disc, but what isn't clear, is mention of properly aligning the Slot in Delrin Tube, so that it faces straight down towards ... 
Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI
Rushton,Thank you for your thorough evaluation of this new product. I'm sure you can understand many of us are very curious, and perhaps I sort of have an apprehension as well, thinking about direct contact of the Delrin Wand to the surface of the... 
Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM
My friend, guess others have summed it up pretty well so far, , and as Doug has explained, these machines he speaks of use a whole different pricipal for the removal of fluids. They are as well, a bit more complex, and one probably has to learn th... 
Need proper sequence for cleaning records
Hello Overhang, perhaps my first response to you, and speaking of the Mo-Fi Fluids was a bit harsh.These are certainly not bad products at all, and I have no doubt that they are very good products. Although I never used them, many people do, and I... 
Great sounding new vinyl
I happened to buy SRV Texas Flood on Pure Pleasure just a couple of months ago.While the LP doesn't have any major anomalies, or defects, and of course doesn't possess grounds for return, or stating it is bad, I did seem to notice a couple of cuts... 
Need proper sequence for cleaning records
I've never used Premier, but go along with what Tbg has said, I'd send all cleaners you have purchased back for refund-exchange to Dealer, buy either Walker Prelude System like Tbg says, or the 3, or 4 Step Cleaning regimem from Audio Intelligent ...
