| Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift No problem. and I don’t mean to be hawking the Little Fwend. I’m an end user and just happy with mine even though it was kind of pricey. Don’t mean to get this thread off track either. Mike | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, I’m sorry I threw in that distracting reference to the VPI peripheral ring, What i would really like is to draw your attention to is the question of whether you think the Rega tonearm you recommended might be able fit on the existing VPI... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, I do have one of the VPI periphery rings to use with warped records. It weighs a ton and seems to work fairly well in flattening them out during play. Thank you for the suggestion on the Rega RB3000 tonearm. The price is right. Are you ... | |
| Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift Yeah, that’s kind of weird. Just the slightest touch and the lift lifts. Mines never malfunctioned even once. You should contact Little Fwend’s site and see what’s up with that. I’d be curious to hear what they’d have to say. Mike | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Thank you pindac. I hadn’t heard of Stand Alone Tonearm Pods before. I’ve started looking into them to see what I can find out. Interesting idea, Mike | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Pindac, my turntabe is about two years or so old and one of the last VPI Classic 2’s produced. The only upgrade I see on the VPI site is to use their dual pivot mod, which I’ll try first, or alternately if trying to get away from a unipivot design... | |
| Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift Pindac, the tapered Little Fwend is roughly 3/4" wide at its base. I have mine sitting against the tonearm’s platform on my VPI Classic 2. That leaves about a 1-3/4" space remaining between the Little Fwend’s tapered base at its widest point and t... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Slaw, I am going to get the dual pivot and would very much appreciate you sending a piece of the PEEK, If you PM your name and address I’ll put a check in the mail to you, My name and the address to send it to will be on the check. If I remember ... | |
| Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift It does take a minute to remember to reset the Little Fwend by pushing the arm back down each time before you play a record side, but it quickly. becomes a habit to do so. Maybe you have to do the same with the other models listed above too. | |
| Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift I’ve the pricey one with the stupid name, "The,Little Fwend". It looks good’, installs easily, gently lifts the tonearm and works every time.. It garners excellent reviews and is well worth the outlay. You can price it at Music Direct. Check out t... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? Stringreen, in what ways did the dual pivot improve your system? I’ve read a few things about improvements using it and would like to hear yours. Appreciate your impression of the bearing VPI., I assume you’re speaking of one of their FB gimbal mo... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Pindac, that makes perfect sense. What's under the hood is what counts. Mike | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? Cbl117, you’re the second person I’ve heard say they thought the dual pivot mod was a hassle. What makes it so in your estimation? I read one person didn’t like that the second pivot point simply drags across the surface it rests on when in use. T... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Thank you for your suggestions Raul. I will look all of them up. Mike | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Yeti42. I’ll make sure the person doing the set up reconnects the anti-skating. Thank you for that advice. After trying to absorb all the knowledge you’ve imparted about different tonearms, it’s obvious you and Mijostyn both need to move here to V... |
