| What would I get out of damping fluid? The Damping is worth trying. One good thing is, if you don't like the results, they are easily reversible, and you're only out the cost of the Damping Fluids.Probably the best tweaks for the AQ PT Arms, will be a better quality Tonearm Cable, a hi... | |
| What would I get out of damping fluid? Turntablebasics.com is one source for Styringes of Tonearm Damping Fluids, of a few different viscosities.Tough to say what benefits you might reap? The AQ Arm is not a bad Arm, I have two, and at first thought I was going to need Danmping Fluids ... | |
| ZYX cartridges Of course Raul, for one to try to compare a Cartridge that might be pushing 40 years old, such as a Shure V-15, regardless of how good the Cartidge was way back when, and how new the Stylus is on it currently, it would not be a worthy evaluation c... | |
| ZYX cartridges I agree with what Doug says about comparing ZYX Cartridge output of ZYX, versus other common brands.This was at least my personal finding, comparing a Benz Ruby 3, at .34mv, to the Airy 3X, at .24mv output, in that they were very, very close, with... | |
| ZYX cartridges Redtop might be referring to me, I run a VPI, and have a Denon Table as well.Well, doing a comparo, my mint 35 year old Shure V-15 III with Jico SAS kicked the pants off of my Benz Ruby 3, and Airy 3, and will give Doug Deacon's ZYX UNIverse a "re... | |
| ZYX cartridges In the Industry Directory on this group's home page, go to Sorasound, this is Mehran's business in Chicago, and he is the USA Main Distributor, and who you would purchase from if you are in USA. When getting to his site, click on ZYX, and there yo... | |
| Record is noisier after cleaning: To respond to Roydavis's post, and in regards to cleaners using Alcohol in thier formulations, I'm certainly no expert on the topic, so please don't ask me for hard scientific data to support any claims, pro, or con.I reckon one must decide person... | |
| Alternative to VPI motor for Aries 3? Hopefully VPI will give some suggestions, but if I remember, don't these Motors have provision for lubrication?Please let us know what you hear from VPI. Mark | |
| Record is noisier after cleaning: Sanjay,As you're well aware, the VPI really does nothing as far as cleaning goes, other than offering a platform to place your record, and then a vacuum to revove fluids, and the suspended nasties. But you have jumped over the highest hurdle, buyi... | |
| How Should We Clean A New Record? Sanjay,Apparently, you've dug up a very old thread, in which much of what was written back then can almost be called void now in 2008.You've most certainly not made a mistake purchasing the VPI 16.5 RCM. I strongly doubt that the info your dealer ... | |
| Mint Tractor This thread has been a godsend in a way, let's not get thin skinned folks, and make people afraid to post with thoughts of insinuated sarcasm. I didn't see any in my eyes, and that's the truth, and I agree with Yip, if you ran through your Alignme... | |
| Mint Tractor Viper, I too found my Zenith Angle off. I'm certainly no expert on Cartridges, but I take it that Zenith Angle is a very important adjustment.Probably not so, with a Conical Stylus, but who's running one of these, unless maybe you're running a Den... | |
| Mint Tractor Doug/All, I tried to explain the features of the Parallax Feature on the Mintlp Tractor, but I know my previous descriptions fell short. Probably anyone's will, until they see for themselves how neat this protractor is, and put it to use on thier ... | |
| Mint Tractor Please forgive me folks for the numerous typo errors in my last post. I'm a great speller, but a poor typer, and usually never spell check until "after" I hit send.One mistake I made, and I want to further elaborate, like others have advised, I fe... | |
| Mint Tractor If the Moderators would be so kind, I would like adding my $.02. I just got around to using my Mintlp Protractor on my VPI HW-19 Table, with AQ PT-9 Arm, and spent about 1-1/2 hours with this Alignment process.Hopefully, I can add what hasn't been... |
