| Preamp Deal of the Century Mick,Thanks for weighing in and putting rumor to rest. Just keep doing what you do. I am more than confident that you'll never sacrifice quality over quantity. The wait for one of your world class preamps may seem painful, it soon recedes into the... | |
| VPI JMW-9 Signature Questions I use the same setup that Nick does (except I didn't break the line) I pretty much echo his comments with 2 additional observations:1. Err on the side of too little when adding the damping fluid. Too much will slow the pace and drive of the music.... | |
| Mounting a Shelter 501 on a JMW/9 Nick,The Shelter on my signature/SM combo is all the way forward on the headshell as well. I used the alignment jig provided with the new arm, and I got the stylus to hit the dot. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rushton,My early thoughts on the "Blanton" 45 is good to very good, but not in the same way some of the others are, as they are blockbusters for sonics. This is good, but not "great", especially being played on the heels of the "Time Out" 45. The ... | |

| My Best of CES Spencer,Very nice write up. I need to get an opportunity to listen again to the Analysis Audio loudspeaker. The only time I have listened to them was last May in NYC. At that time they were mated to different gear (provenance I don't recall), but ... | |
| How trustworhty is Used Cables? I have purchased used speaker cables from them and found them to be very fairly priced, cables were as described and service was very good.As to their recommendations, one has to keep in mind that they (Cable Company) also are a retailer of new pr... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners Agree with all the above, but would also add "Hissing Of Summer Lawns" to your list. | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade Rushton,I think what has happened in my turntable journey, is that the sum of the parts has created a synergy. Each tweak, upgrade, addition has served to enhance the fine properties of the stock table. The Signature tonearm with the Nordost wirin... | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade Stanhifi,Do have any experience with ANY of the equipment you bash in these threads? Or are you just a dysfunctional troll?You seem to have pretty strong opinions on everything, yet you don't have the cajones to post your own rig.Step up to the pl... | |
| DEALER IN N.Y. TO UPGRADE SCOUTMASTER The Scoutmaster is an excellent table in it's own right. Before you start chasing your tail and spending more money,Raul's advice seems to be the best approach at this point. Make sure your cart is properly set up. If you are happy with the alignm... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster Owners: Another Question As tight as they need to be in order to ensure that the table is perfectly level on it's shelf. Depending on the shelf your table is sitting on, one or two may be "ratcheted" down further than another. Put a spirit level on your platter and adjust... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Nickatkins and Dlwask,Any thoughts on where to add the damping fluid? The hole at the top of the tower, or remove the arm wand and add directly to the well? I can't really tell from the directions... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rush,You're right, it's NOT a good thing. The "Soular Energy" LP after it was more like it should be. Maybe my ears were still in work mode for the Bach. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper with a 10 foot high cello resonating around the lis... |
