| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Hello Opus, As I said, these statements I "read" came from other folks, and were not my personal findings. You probably will agree though, that what tweak-mod might work very well with one Table, may actually fall on it's face with another.Sorry f... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Hello, I believe VPI still sells the Sorbothane Pucks, and quite a few, inlcuding Harry W. himself said he liked the Sorbothane better than the springs. Prehaps the Springs could be "iffy" dependent upon the room, or how they were tuned.Or you cou... | |
| What to expect in a TT upgrade? Hello redcarrera,If I was one, who perhaps drifted off on another Tangent, adressing another poster, then I hope you can forgive me.Every now, and then we all toot our own horns a bit here, but I know of no better group, for straight, good no BS a... | |
| What to expect in a TT upgrade? Hello Larry, Yes, I can picture your set-up, this is a very attractive Table. Many followers of the Denon 103R as well, as being a great value.I understand your analogy, and I'm sure basically every other forumite does as well. I would say a large... | |
| What to expect in a TT upgrade? Hello, What Cartridge were you using originally? You fail to mention this? This may have been the culprit, as well as incorrect set-up?Going with a better, more sophisticated Turntable won't necessarily mean easier set-up, but usually better Arms ... | |
| Instructions for a Turntable Basics Protractor Sorry Doug that I failed to mention it was you who taught me these good tricks to enhance effectiveness with this Protractor. I feel it at times it is impolite to mention another person's name without thier permission.Thank you for adding, and rem... | |
| Instructions for a Turntable Basics Protractor Turntable Basics would probably send you a set of instructions if you contact them, and tell them you've lost your instructions, and would like to have them.The Protractor is not that hard to use. You'll note a hole in the Protractor, and this sli... | |
| mcintosh MT10 turntable good or not. It would be too easy for me to turn around, and bash the McIntosh Table, and I'm uncertain if the Mac Table comes with a Cartridge, but I understand the cost is $8K.At that price, there's a myriad of fine tables out there with great track records.... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Hello Audioquest,I got a little confused at the end of your post with VTF recommendations? I'm thinking the Benz LP requires identical VTF, to my Ruby 3, and going my memory here, factory suggested range is I believe 1.8g-2.2g, correct? Are you th... | |
| Second shot suspension Sumiko Blackbird - help Dayum, how much error was the digital off by?!When I bought my used digital Micro Tech from a seller here, the very first thing I did, was confirm its accuracy with a set of lab calibration weights. Virtually all read dead on. Hopefully no damage ... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Stringeen, with my Ruby 3, which possesses I believe the same gain, .34mv, I too am using 60db Gain on my Sutherland PhD. This is the highest gain setting on the Stock Gain Boards, but I do have the High Gain Boards, which are 62, 64, 66, 68, and ... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Hello Stringreen, and merry Christmas to you, and all here.How many hours have you figured you've logged on the Benz LP so far? Have you tried any VTA adjustments since going to 47K (I assume you have) With my VPI SDS, one can keep track of hours ... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Just would like to comment some. Yes, as you say perhaps an advantage in one way, but a disadvantage IMO in two other ways. One, with the NG Platterless design, there is a lack of support under the LP when you scrub. Two, after application of flui... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Ghosthouse, Sure can't throw stones for that recommendation. Bought a near mint Mommas, and Papas greatest hits not long ago for $2 at the antique shop here in town (akin to a used record shop, but they have a multitude of various other things as ... | |
| TT Upgrades belt to string & steel ball to ceramic Pedrillo,I would assume Ceramic SI3N4 would be the most worthy choice, and the most expensive as well.Doing lube maintainence on my own HW-19 MK-IV Platter earlier this week, I see as well, that my Bearing Ball is indeed also exactly .250". I'd li... |
