| VPI 16.5 Problem One other tip, while you're at it. The vacuum tube can be adjusted and the slot should not point straight down (180 degree position). Per instructions I received from VPI, it should be at the 185 degree position when viewed from the spindle. Thus ... | |
| Shipping Dunlavy SC 3's Judsauce, if A-V Logic can't help, I would think your moving company could pack them adequately. I have a pair of Duntech Princess that weigh 180 pounds each. They were flown to the US from Oz in cardboard boxes, strapped to a wood pallet and came... | |

| any mono folks out there? In addition to Hevac1's point on styli size, here is another worry for '50s jazz (or other types). While the RIAA curve was approved around 1955, it was not implemented by all labels for another ten years or more. Therefore, some means of adjustab... | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility With such knowledgeable folks as Raul and Thom attempting to carry the flag of reason, I'm a little hesitant to join the march. But I'll go ahead and step in line anyway.Feathed stated "I on the other hand believe the presence of a slotted headshe... | |

| Cleaning a old tonearm The tone arms I am familiar with are painted, anodized, chrome, or stainless, or some combination of these finishes. I have seen older arms with some form of crud or tarnish but I have never seen one with possible signs of rust. Perhaps I just don... | |
