Sutherland PhD Issues
Thank you folks.As I have earlier explained, the Unit does apparently shut down without Phono Cables being hooked to the Unit, so this is what sounds strange to me?As Tarsando states, this could possibly be a cause of RFI, maybe due to a poory shi... 
Help with VPI Mk 19 Jr.
Hello Blowfin, I've been a HW-19 owner since 1997.Mine started as a Jr also. If you have mats lying around, and want to try one, there wont be a problem in doing so, as long as you remember, you'll have to remove the Rubber Spindle Washer. You can... 
Fix drawer mechanism on Denon 1560
It would be my assumption, that Denon didn't make a new Transport Mechanism every year, and probably spit out the same stuff for years on end. Somebody here must know where Denon parts can be gotten! They probably used the same Belt for 10 years.I... 
Fix drawer mechanism on Denon 1560
Or, the other possibility is a Micro Switch that is hanging up, or perhaps has gotten a bit of oxidation on it?Just Saturday, I cured the nagging ongoing problem on my own CAL Audio Delta Transport, in which the Drawer would close instantly after ... 
Upgrade for Vpi aries table
I'll leave it to others to note the virtues of the various upgrade paths on the Aries, but one unmentioned benefit of the SDS will be for the first time, you'll have precise correct speed on your Aries, which without the SDS is probably just sligh... 
Help on setting up Rega Planar 3
Howdy, and congrats on the new purchase.First off (and I'd like others to chime in about this also) is Cartridge installation, and Cartridge alignment.I'm assuming the Planar 3 with RB-300 Arm uses the Baerwald method of aligning the Cartridge, so... 
CAL Delta Problem
Well, I ordered two Belts from Larry, and the money's on it's way to him.Playing my system tonight for 1-1/2 hours, the Delta is back to its old antics, with the Drawer closing immediately after opening, and in fact I jammed a 24au copy of Steve M... 
CAL Delta Problem
Hello again all,I have been in touch with Larry at Approvedaudio.Larry has been extremely prompt, helpful, and friendly with his replies to me about the mentioned issues with my Delta.Larry did state that the Belt for the Drawer is avaliable throu... 
CAL Delta Problem
Hi JD, Thank you for the link. I have seen thier site before in the past, and again recently in the Alpha 24/96 Thread. I've already contacted them, and I'll report back with any replies I get from them to perhaps also assist the rest of the "CAL ... 
CAL Delta Problem
Update JD/AllRight after your post, I again removed Case Cover, and with some further examination, seen where the Belt was, and that its purpose is to open, and close the Drawer.I was able to also carefully, and sucessfully remove the Delta's Face... 
CAL Delta Problem
Hi JD, I wasn't aware that there was a belt in there! lol Perhaps a Rubber conditioner like used on Reel To Reel pinch Rollers might help? I have a new bottle of this around here somewhere.Being the original owner of this CAL Delta, I estimate its... 
Tube Dampers on the Herron phono preamp?
I'm also using the top of the line Herbies Halo Dampers on my CAL Alpha with two 12AX7 C9 Shuguang Tubes, and I'm happy with the combo. I've honestly not noted any drastic differences with the Dampers in place with these tubes, but the differences... 
Rhea V1 & V2 NOS tubes
I'm under the impression that yes, Tubes can be gotten directly from Aesthetix for your Rhea, and this in many ways may be the best, and easiest plan of attack for yourself.They'll no doubt know exactly what works best with thier units, and ease t... 
Rhea V1 & V2 NOS tubes
Hi, Hope you don't mind me commenting, , as I'm not a Rhea owner, although I have read virtually every archived post present here about the Rhea, as at one time I had thought of purchasing one. I ultimately went with the Sutherland PhD instead.See... 
VPI SDS Calibration Gurus?
James/AllJust a quick update, that after dropping the ramp down voltage from 84v to 72v, what I had noticed, was that again, the Platter was running just a slight hair slow again, and needed to compensate, by raising the frequency from the origina...
