VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D
My guess is the artistic director decided on substituting with a unipivot because it looked less boring than a gimballed one ;^)Is it possible though, Raul, that even gimballed arms aren’t entirely "torsionally stable"? The movements may be small ...

The Koru is a great phono stage. I've heard lots of good things about its sound quality. If the nearest preset load setting was 120 ohms I would cheerfully go for that but it's likely that 100 will be available.Interestingly, after I posted I read...

To avoid this argument gaining further momentum, perhaps someone in authority at Mark Levinson or VPI would care to address the Forum and explain what the "offending" frames in the video represent, if only as an exercise in damage limitation? ;^)

I suspect what we may have witnessed in the video is an example of the "filmmaker's art". Just because Daniel Craig appears to jump off a bridge in 007 movie doesn't mean it is actually him doing the jumping! ;)They may have inserted stock footage...

That is creepy! I would have sworn that was a unipivot touching down. ;)

Dear Krelldog,Glad to hear things are working out.I've had to correct my posts because I got the multiplier wrong :)Use the x10 Rule to decide the cartridge loading rather than sticking with Ortofon's minimum figure of 20 ohms.Since the manufactur...

Dear Raul,VDHs measurements of his own stylus seem to be defying the "natural order" of things by lowering the junction temperature to 60C. If true, one wonders if instead of vinyl reacting in a malleable way the stylus dislodges chunks which then...

Hi Raul,Found it. It is anecdotal but then most things on Forums are :)If you are in Windows, do a CTRL F and search "Coxybabe"....https://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/archive/index.php?thread-29073.htmlAll the best,Bill.

Hi Raul,I agree it is confusing. I recall looking up the data at the time and the "248C" figure was known to me. I was somewhat surprised back then but given how easily vinyl warps next to central heating radiators I dismissed 248C as one possible...

Dear Raul,Perhaps the moderator should step in at this point...  ;)Yes, I've only heard the SAT tone arm via 320kbps needle drops versus CDs etc but it presents a persuasive argument even if unattainable for the many. If there are hidden distortio...

Indeed Raul, there's no substitute for a satisfied user endorsement :)It would be interesting to see a list of all designs that included a measure of compensation.VPI have now joined this club and you mentioned the Graham series. I believe Frank S...

Dear Raul, The report you published is the first I’ve seen that confirms my long-held belief that diamonds “burn” more than they “wear”. Many thanks for that! :)   The importance of the “message” rather than the messenger is the main thing. P...

My apologies Krelldog. I didn't realise that you'd already tried negative values. Doh!Memo to self: please read the entire post before commenting ;^)

You are most welcome, Raul.I knew you were counting :) :)Kind regardsBill
