| Help me fix my cartridge Dang Mikey, what a horrible set of circumstances!An innocent mistake for sure, and one anyone can make, by assuming a Cartridge Maker would at least use the same sized screws for "all" its Cartridges, not some mix, and match affair.This is somethi... | |
| Tubes for Cal Audio Labs Alpha Processor Having my Alpha (non 24/96 version) for agood two years now, being bought used from Agon, and is a '93 model. I've never had it eat tubes yet, but will admit that a pair of unbranded, supposed Shuguang 12AX7 C-9 production Tubes went "fuzzy" in a ... | |
| Mint Tractor Just a heads up, I got my Mintlp Protractor today.First time I ever got anything for Hong Kong in my life, and perhaps Yip should offer a side service, where he could ship me in a few bottles of some really good Chinese Oyster Sauce! lol Yummy!Any... | |
| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? Again Hukk, not to discredit you, as I'm sure you made the very best choice for yourself. But, there's just too many variables. I once heard an $8400 Linn Turntable that didn't impress me one bit. And neither did its looks, looking very nice, but ... | |
| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? Bill, I enjoyed the thread as well. I've owned my own HW-19 for a good 11 years, and have no regrets for the money I spent, it's been a great ride. I thank Harry, and company for making this fine Table, and they have backed it all these years with... | |
| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? You can use virtually any Tonearm you wanna pay for, you can place any SME, TriPlanar, Morch, Shroder, Graham 2.2, Phantom, you name it, all that is required is another Armboard. If memory serves me correctly, the standard Armboard was .500" thick... | |
| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? Many of the replacement parts, and the upgrade paths are now gone for the HW-19. You "Might" be able to get things like On-Off Switches, the Hurst Motor, or a SAMA if they're not on backorder. AFAIK, the Sorbothane Pucks are no longer available, a... | |
| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? Tough to tell you which way to go? All depends I guess how much you want to spend, and what you don't like about your Turntable in its current state?I assume your MK-IV Table ha seperate Armboard, so there is the option of a different Arm, even if... | |
| Matless Platter VPI 16.5 Stew/All, Done some more thinking about this, and also had some sensible suggestions privately from a person more knowledgeable than I, and have come to the conclusion, that a Matless Platter, no matter what the Platter is made of would more than ... | |
| Looking for ACCURATE SPEED turntable/tonearm combo Well Ketchup, I'm a relative newcomer, amongst the really heavy players here.I'm in a way not too ashamed to realize that I don't even have brass ears in comparison to Doug Deacon, Paul, or many others here, my ears are actually "tin ears", really... | |
| Clamps for VPI Scout I agree with your findings madfloyd.No matter what the weight of thre Stainless Heavyweight, it will, or never can be the correct weight for every single instance.You may find 10 in a 100 LPs, that are perfectly flat, no dishing, in which the Heav... | |
| VPI TNT balancing Hi Wendell,I know us folks are trying to help the original poster, and sometimes my friend, things can appear to be a bit confusing. I only hope us, or others have written here have helped the OP. We're all here of course for the very same thing, ... | |
| VPI TNT balancing Hello Wendell, Sorry, but this doesn't sound correct to me. If you re-read the original poster's comments, it sounds like he's saying that his counterweight is already at the very end of the Counterweight Stub (away from the Pivot) as it is. Addin... | |
| Clamps for VPI Scout There's numerous Clamps out there, from peanuts, to $1500 for the Harmonix, which I doubt no matter how good, is worth the cost. There's the Michell, the Sota, Black Diamond Racing, and probably a few others I'm forgetting about.What I did, was I ... | |
| Clearaudio Satisfy lift sticking I would suggest first trying to repeatedly lift-lower arm. Perhaps you aren't using the Table enough? Usually things don't gum up, where they get tighter, and more often, they start to fall, like a tone of bricks.Perhaps try one very small drop of... |
