| Swapping Tonearms on a VPI Aries- anyone? I have an Aries 3 with a SME IV.Vi arm. The armboard is secured with three allen machine screws into the TT base, not any kind of wood screws. It looks like it's possible to mount a second arm but might be easier to get an extra armboard to swap o... | |
| VTA adjustment for VPI 10.5i tonearm From my limited experience I would say don't be afraid to make large adjustments up and/or down from level. A small change of say 1/16 of an inch at the rear of the arm will net almost no adjustment at the stylus. What sounds good to you might be ... | |
| SME 3 series Arm Lift Adjustment? I found adjustment to be touchy and not very precise. It's not like I could suggest to turn the screw 1/8th turn and get a repeatable result, it was more like I had to play with it for a while to raise my lift to where I wanted it.Good luck,Mike | |
| SME 3 series Arm Lift Adjustment? I use a .89mm (.035") with my IV.ViMike | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Yip urged me to do my own measuring, I un-mounted my Lyra Skala to measure yesterday and mine is close to 10.5 mm.So, if you're looking for something other than a ballpark number you might want to do your own measuring.Mike | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? A side note to my above thread, Yip did reply to my question, at the time the email did not reach me. So...Yip is watching.....Thank you yip.Mike | |
| Will SME-V, etc benefit with non-stock alignment? Axelwahl,Thank you for starting this thread, I have a question about your statement:In the case of SME, the expected mounting hole to stylus tip distance being 3/8" or in more 'current metrics' 9.52 mm.I also thought I read this somewhere, where d... | |
| Speaker cable improvements 04-02-09: StanwalOr just buy some Magnet wire. It is 50 cents a foot and is very close if not identical to you know what.I thought it was some sort of transformer wire in the you know what.Mike | |
| VPI 300 RPM motor clicking when starts This is my second Aries 3, both motors click on start up, oiling doesn't change things. I think Super Scoutmaster has a different motor. Harry must get a LOT of calls.Mike | |
| VPI 300 RPM motor clicking when starts Yes, mine does and actually will do it longer if there is more load on the motor such as with a Super Platter. I think it's a soft start clutch on the motor.Mike | |

| VPI Aries III motor and Plinth not lining up My Aries 3 came with the black motor in the same box with the rest of the TT. My motor fits fine under the platter, I do not unscrew the spikes or put the TT on pucks. Sounds like you need to get the correct motor for the Aries 3.Mike | |
| Verus Vs Rim Drive I can see where overhang is not an issue with a scoutmaster or Aries 3 but would be with a Super Scoutmaster. The Super Scoutmaster does not have a cutout in the plinth where the motor goes. Thanks for the overhang measurment of the motor.Mike | |
| Verus Vs Rim Drive Thank you for the review, I am looking into getting a Verus for my Aries 3. From pictures it looks like The Aries 3 has more platter overhang than the Super Scoutmaster which would eliminate the problem of not enough reach with the Verus. My platt... | |
| VPI SDS producing hum at 45rpm I assume you've already tried the TT without the SDS connected and the hum went away, if that is the case see if relocating the SDS helps, if not email VPI.Mike |
