| cartridge alignment? Firstly, it would help knowing what Table-Arm, and what geometry is suiatble before making any solid recommendations to you.Most Japanese vintage Tables will more than likely be better suited with Stevenson Null Geometry. Although some do like, an... | |
| Cartridge Recomendations for VPI HK-19 MK IV w/Gra I was browsing over at the asylum earlier, seen you had posed the same question there, and the one recommendation at this point, was for the Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge.I never owned-heard one, so I certainly cannot give a personal viewpoint eith... | |
| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? Ferarri, Some have said the Foam Noodle Toys that you can get from a swimming pool store work, but I do know the stock MK-IV, with metal sub-chassis, and Platter are a lot of weight to support.Some have used Carbon Fiber Pucks from somebody like B... | |
| Cartridge Recomendations for VPI HK-19 MK IV w/Gra Hello All/Rushton,Makes sense what you say that any Grado "shouldn't hum, but doing a search the other day about "VPI Hum" on the asylum, I pulled up quite a few numerous posts about Grados humming with HW-19 Tables. Odd, I know. I'm sort of doubt... | |
| Mistracking zyx after hibernating? Got a Cardas Sweep, and Burn LP?Run the burn in tracks for maybe 15 minutes a track, and then more importantly, run the Demag sweeps.Thos should clear the cobwebs. Mark | |
| Anyone ever Mod a Sunfire Sub? It's a Sunfire True Sub MK-IV. As for Schematics, I know of no one who has them available? Mark | |
| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? I've run a similar gauntlet of upgrades with my own HW-19 as well, going from Jr to MK-IV Platter, using the SDS, Sutherland PhD Phono, Audiopoint Cone Feet.Like you, I haven't gone the SAMA, but do have the SDS.One thing you'll never achieve, not... | |
| Anyone muffel a VPI 16.5 The best fix for a VPI 16.5 would be to get the vacuum out of the machine all together, isolate it as far away from the machine as you could get it.There might be a possible way to do this, where you are connecting to the Arm Wand from underneath,... | |
| Anyone muffel a VPI 16.5 Added insulation, like the guys put inside thier car doors-panels might be an idea? Something that would be asily cuttable with a utility shears, and peel, and stick would be the way to go. Provided you're not covering the very small slotted vents... | |
| Difference between a VPI HW19 MkII & MKIII Tought to say what VPI did over the years. Peobably from '96 on, there were no differences in the wood base. You had maybe 3, or four choices, natual oak, or walnut dark stain, black, or piano black finish.As for Platters, and Bearings, again a to... | |
| scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5 I also do exactly as cincy_bob does. This seems to work best. With all LPs, regardless if filthy, or new, dust=grime will begin to accumilate on the Arm Wand Velvet. Remove after a few LPs, brush clean with a soft toothbrush, rinse with Distilled ... | |
| Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help? I tend to believe that Jim (and perhaps partly Paul) designed AVIS, just like Lloyd Walker designed his cleaners to be used in a certain succesion.That the following step compliments the preceeding step. Jim P. has verbally enforced these beliefs ... | |
| How good or bad is a Mac C-39 phono stage? I once owned a C-38 Pre-Amp, and the Phono Stage was decent for a good MM Cartridge.Being candid about what they throw in, McIntosh won't ever throw in garbage. But in truth, how much money you figure they invested in parts into a Phono Stage? May... | |
| Benz Glider High Output good upgrade from Aurum Be To respond again to you infotrad, I onwed an original Benz Glider for at least a good ten years. Yes it was a good Cartridge, and when I switched from the MacCormack Micro Phono Drive ($750 list) to the Sutherland PhD ($3,000 list) there was a ver... | |
| Benz Glider High Output good upgrade from Aurum Be If buying new, the new Glider is pushing $1,000 list.Of course there's usually some discounting, and also some trade value. Even a dead junker is worth a believe an additional $100.If I'm not mistaken, Clearaudio as well had some trade program for... |
