| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... I've heard the Classic directly compared to a VPI Aries 1 and Aries 3 table with the same cart in the same system and the Classic ranked significantly behind the others. The Classic was very lively, but rather hot and noisy on the top end and the ... | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Peter Gabriel - Scratch My BackGreat music, very noisy pressing. Shame on you Classic Records! | |
| VPI Classic Platter I have heard the platter compared with a super platter on an Aries 1 table in the same system as a VPI classic table with aluminum platter. It was no comparison. The Aries 1 and super platter really was much better in air, noisefloor and bass soli... | |
| Removing fine scratch marks from VPI plinth Thanks for the input. I think I will order some Novus. I only have some very light 'hazing scratches..looks like spider webs. I'll try the Novus and the microfiber cloths. | |
| Aries 3 and Super Platter I was just wondering because I thought the Aries 3 comes with the inverted bearing compatible with the Super Platter. My bearing looks just like the Super Platter bearing in the ads on Music Direct and Elusive Disc. Maybe it is a different length ... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Thanks for the info Tobes. It is a 2mm allen wrench. The screws have a green nylon tip. I replaced my dual sized pulley with the HRX one and it now works perfectly. My Hz required for 33 rpm is 60 with two belts and 45 rpm is 80.75 with two belts.... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Here is a pic of my current set up with a link that works:http://s854.photobucket.com/albums/ab101/philb7777/?action=view¤t=IMG_4509.jpg | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Sorry, link doesn't work. Its the pulley that has two circumferences, with a little larger on bottom for 45 rpm play. | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Joe, I agree about the SDS. My Single Motor Flywheel was sent with a different pulley (I think made for people without SDS). Here is a pic of it and my current setup:http://www.me.com/gallery/#100009Mike from VPI sent me the HRX pulley that is sho... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Guys, mine does the same thing: 84v to start and then quickly to 72v in 33 rpm and up to 115v to start and down to 102v in 45 rpm. I think this is normal activity and its the way the SDS 'kick starts' the spinning to get things moving then back to... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 By the way, anyone replaced the black plastic/delrin motor pulley on a 300 rom motor or single motor flywheel before? How do you do it? It hasn't arrived from VPI yet, but I'm just trying to be prepared. Thanks.... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Thanks for the feedback everyone. The Flywheel seems a little more finicky than the simple 300 rpm motor, but I'm still at work at it. One thing interesting is it does seem like it takes the flywheel a good 5 minutes or so to get to a stable speed... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Stan here are my settings with the original Aries 3 motor using center weight and peripheral ring: 33RPM - 60 Hz, 45 RPM- 81 Hz. I'll try the flywheel with strobe disc more tonight and see what I get. If you had to set it at 72 Hz to get 33 RPM wi... | |
| VPI Single Motor Flywheel / SDS / Aries 3 Stan, thanks so much for your response. So this is 72 for 33 rpm speed? That would seem to make sense as I would guess at 72 this is where I would have to be to get accurate speed for 33 rpm.Any more info I can gleem from you would be great. Your ... |
