| 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... | |
| VPI TNT balancing I made one error in my response to you. That was there are many "mid-fi" users here! NOT! Some people here own Cartridges, that cost more than my entire Turntable-Arm-Cartridge! Sorry for my mistake, there are many here who forgot more than I know... | |
| VPI TNT balancing Hmm, your problem seems like an odd one? I wasn't aware that the Shelter 501 was such a heavy Cartridge?Not to diss you, or you choice of Cartridges, but with such a Table, you should be well beyond such a meager piece to place on your Turntable. ... | |
| Which Record Cleaning Machine? I would like to mention that the addition of the cooling fan did have one downside. And that is, it made the 16.5 even louder yet. Yes, this addition of another hole serves as an exit for sound more easily leaving the machine. It cannot be helped,... | |
| Upgrades for Scoutmaster, In order of improvement? Maybe I'l chime in, (if the mods will let me) saying that this thread seems to have mucho differences, and who do we trust?My first questions, are, why does the SDS deserve special merit, when the Periphery Ring, and Center Weight are used? How do... | |
| Which Record Cleaning Machine? Chadnliz/Stitrains/All,Sorry, not trying to steer the thread in another direction, or dispute the hierarchy of RCM's.My VPI 16.5 has just recently turned 1 year old. According to Motor Decals, with a date of 5-2007 it is what I consider "recent bu... | |
| TT Noob questions I can't speak for thr master, Harry Weisfield, and possible he might even chime in to concur with my thoughts, but I'm largely under the impression Harry designed the Heavy Centerweight to work in conjunction with the Periphery Weight Ring. Of cou... | |
| Looking for ACCURATE SPEED turntable/tonearm combo I, like you at one time, was a disser of Direct Drive Turntables. I still have some skeptisism towards Tables like the new Technics.But, I have to admit, for the money, you'll be hard pressed finding anything to compare in thr Belt Drive arena, es... | |
| VPI RCM Vacuum Wand Velvet Strips Hmm, some interesting responses.As I've been informed by the highly knowledgeable here, but won't diclose thier name, it appears one is SOL in acquiring the exact same material-peel+stick adhesive as VPI uses.If a material, such as Mo-Fi Replaceme... | |
| VPI RCM Vacuum Wand Velvet Strips Thanks Kurt for your reply.You gotta figure, at $18.50, why such a ridiculously high price for these?! Even silk from the orient wouldn't be so expensive.I'll hopefully soon find the right source to this correct peel, and stick material, and will ... | |
| SACD News Emerson Lake & Palmer I have to kindly disagree about the Mo-Fi Trilogy, and Tarkus being mediocre. Both I have are low number limited edition Anadisc 200's, and both sound mighty fine to me! What releases you have heard, I have no idea.I have all the ELP originals, th... | |
| Scoutmaster runs very slow Things to check, would be the Platter first. Have you ever re-lubed the Platter Bearing? Removing Belt, and rotating, can you feel any drag?Belt Slippage. When was the last time you replaced the Belt? Try cleaning the Belt, and Platter.Try pluggin... | |
| Spraying the platter I'm sure all will concur here, not a very good idea at all. I can understand aesthetics-cosmetics, and a table "looking" nice, as most of us want our rigs to bear a personal reflection of us, just like many like personalizing thier vehicles.Firstl... |
