| Tonearm/Cartridge setup for noise elimination I think your problem sounds a bit vague to me, and I'm unsure what suggestions to give you.Definitely try other Tonearm Cables, and/or if possible a different pre-amp-amp. The proximity of where you have your turntable in relation to the rest of y... | |
| Put a Linn Ekos between my VPI hw19jr. and Glider? Hi, As far as implementing any costly upgrades to your HW-19 Jr, you may have some setbacks, as VPI Discontinued the HW-19 series about two years ago in favor of the new Scout Series. I do believe VPI does still sell the MK-IV Platter that will re... | |

| Broken AudioQuest Caldera speaker cable ends... Dang, what a bummer accident! :-(I once had a basically brand new AQ Emerald Tonearm Cable go bad, with lots of hum. Sent it back to AQ, as they instructed me to send it directly to them, and they fixed it, and sent it back quickly. Worked fine ev... | |
| Littlite-Which one to buy? Thank you Nsgarch, and Doug.That's something I hadn't considered, was possible RF interference. I did some research, but find no mention of the dimmer being a possible problem? One would think it wouldn't be such a problem, as these are used in pr... | |

| Height of VPI Stainless HW-19 LP Clamp? Hi Dreadhead, I'm sorry, you are correct, I did misquote what you said. :-)Well, here's some good news! I spoke this morning at great length with DJ Casser, the owner of Black Diamond Racing, and in fact, we spoke together on 3 occasions (He calle... | |
| Height of VPI Stainless HW-19 LP Clamp? Thank you Jameswei/All for your help/suggestions.Speaking with Mike yesterday at VPI, he seemed to give me the impression that my case wasn't the first that he heard about, with BDR Clamps not buttoning up with the heavier LPs.All day I tried call... | |
| Dynaco Pre-amp Repair in Chicago? Hi, One place I would highly NOT recommend in Chicago, would be Martroy Electronics. While I have no doubts they can fix it, they'll also take you to the cleaners on the cost. They've done it to me, and another friend of mine. Try $60 to replace a... |
