| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Lloyd Walker tells an amusing story that some of you may have heard... he was demonstrating his Proscenium turntable at a show a few years back when some attendees came in to talk with him about why he didn't use a high torque direct drive design ... | |
| Classic Records 200g Quiex Vinyl - Who's Next Tfkaudio, like some other folks here, I adjust VTA for every record. It makes a significant difference in my system. If a standard weight LP (120-150gr) sounds good on your system, then the VTA is probably set for that thickness LP. If you don't a... | |
| Contact cleaner - OR - Tuner cleaner Unlikely to hurt anything, but I'd test for a left-over sonic signature. OTOH, I hear a left-over sonic signature with Caig Deoxit and alway follow it with a good cleaning with 92+% isopropyl alcohol. FWIW, unless the contact is corroded, I find i... | |

| Classic Records 200g Quiex Vinyl - Who's Next Tfkaudio, I can't relate to what you're describing. The Classic Records reissue sounds very good here. Have you cleaned the LP with a good cleaning fluid like Disc Doctor, RRL or AIVS? Have you adjusted your VTA?. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zaikesman, enjoyed your post! Thanks for the great read.. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? {smile} Great to hear, Joe! Lloyd told me the sound in your listening room at this point is just "killer". We'll have to get over!. | |
| Installing a dedicated AC line Incus,1) Don't put in a subpanel if you're 10' away from your new breaker box. The situation for a subpanel would be where a long run is required. Then running 6 gauge to the subpanel might help reduce the voltage drop.2) 10ga minimizes the potent... | |
| VPI Scout upgrade path? Rickcomer, happy to be able to point you to some additional information. Audiogon's search function is pretty weak; it's often difficult to find earlier threads from the archives, so glad I could help.. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Foster, interesting comment on "Teaser." I've always enjoyed the MoFi reissue, notwithstanding its detractors in some quarters. My tan label A&M (Sterling mastering, F7) has always sounded good to my ear, but I found the MoFi bettered it in ov... | |
| VPI Scout upgrade path? Rickcomer, you might find this earlier thread on the same topic useful reading. Good luck. The VPI Scout is well worth upgrading: each step you take will reward you.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1134618175. | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Hi Chadnliz, thanks for the note. Glad to know you've been able to hear a Walker 'table. Lloyd's phono stage is pretty friggin' amazing, as well.Cheers, | |
| How To Store Record Collection? IKEA Bonde or Expedit shelves are excellent for record storage. Both come in various sizes.. | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature turntable is the end of my turntable journey, too. And the Magic Diamond cartridge is superb. Congratulations, Slipknot1!Prior to the Walker here:VPI 19 MkIII with ET2 tonearm, Grado ReferenceB&0 4002 lin... | |
| Any Walker SST users? Trelja is exactly correct. I just talked with Lloyd to confirm: he says, as Trelja points out, the silver is in an organic oil suspension (carrier). The oil is not very conductive and will show no conductivity with a multimeter due to the low volt... |
