| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? I adjust VTA by the thickness of the LP on my JMW arm (this is easy to do and can be done on the fly with a turn of the knob on the tower of the arm). The difference in sound is substantial (to the point that if I forget to make a proper adjustmen... | |
| upgrade VPI HW19 Mk IV or get a new table? I had a VPI mk4 that started as a VPI Jr. I gradually upgraded to the mk4. It was a very good table, but I ended up selling it to buy a VPI Aries 2 with the JMW 12.5 arm. This was a huge improvement in my system. The non suspended Aries 2 is much ... | |
| Installing a VPI stainless steel ring? I have the VPI ring, but I don't know what you mean by rubber rings. Mine is a stainless steel ring with black felt paced inside the ring at 3 points. The ring sets on the lp. You still need to use a center weight on the LP also. | |
| Typical upgrade path from VPI? I am not sure where your problem is, but I own a VPI Aries 2 Extended with a JMW 12.5 arm and ZYX Atmos cartridge. I disagree with those who think the JMW arm is only so so. The sound I am getting is great. Mid bass and lower mid range has plenty ... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century I just received most of the parts to do the 7193 conversion to my Cortese. I still need to get the wire. I will keep you posted. | |
| Don Gruisens Raven- GRP I just picked up a LP by Dave Grusin and the Dream Orchestra "Live at the Budokan" on JVC label (Japanese Vinyl) at a used record store for $7.99. Vinyl is dead quiet and it sounds fantastic. Big name players including Lee Ritenour, Eric Gale, Ste... | |
| Meridian 508.24...sound compared to newer players I do not own one, but I have a friend who does. In my opinion it is a wonderful sounding player, and as good as many "new" players in the price range that you mentioned. I would hang on to it if I were you. | |
| Supratek Owners - Simple Mod to Run 7193 Tubes Ait,Please post this on the Supratek thread also. I wonder if this would work with the Cortese? |
