| SRA Isolation Platform under a Turntable I think it would definitely be an improvement. VPI tables especially benefit from good isolation. I looked into SRA when I wanted more inert isolation for my Super Scoutmaster with rim drive but the line of communication broke down and I ended up ... | |
| SSM Super Platter help please Yes, the voltage is at 84. Sorry, forgot to add that. | |
| Steam Cleaning - RCM or not? I use steam in conjunction with the 16.5 and I feel it offers a couple of advantages. I think with the platter spinning, I'm distributing the steam more evenly which also distributes heat more evenly and may reduce the risk of warping. I also beli... | |
| SSM Super Platter help please 59.10 right now on 33 1/3. That can change slightly each day depending on what I see on my KAB strobe. I'm not really into 45s currently so I can't tell you on that. At a light enough contact pressure it runs nearly silently and speed stability is... | |
| SSM Super Platter help please I have the same set up you're describing and it's working very well. It does however, require a little patience anytime I make changes or even move the thing. As I recall you have the new drive belt as well. It takes some trial and error to get th... | |
| Vpi plinth blueprint for alternate material? I'm half way waiting for VPI to come out with a new plinth for the Super Scoutmaster(Super Plinth maybe?) That would be about the only part of my original table that hasn't been upgraded. Please, no one call VPI to ask about this. It's only conjec... | |
| How do you remove static from an album. Be careful spraying Gruv-Glide directly on an LP. You could easily apply too much that way. The less you put on an Lp the better in my opinion. I don't treat them with anything but the Zerostat currently and it's working well. If you do use Gruv-G... | |
| Phono Pre Amp? If you can stretch your budget a bit, might I suggest checking into the PS Audio GCPH($999 new, $600-700 used and can be modded to good effect latter) It seems to have fallen out of favor here for some reason(not the latest thing maybe?) but it's ... | |
| Sibilence in one channel means? Counter-clockwise is the way to twist it. I use no anti-skate at all with the 10.5i and prefer it(recommended by Stringreen and others). As I understand it, shorter arms benefit from anti-skate more so you may want to try the twist though many use... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? I had no doubt that Adam18 would eventually upgrade when I made my post but as long as the system moves you why change? There's no harm in exploring your options and this is a great place to do it. I would hate to think any advise I offered caused... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Never noticed that either. | |
| Raven One Owners - some questions I don't have the Raven 1(VPI SSM)but I do have experience with Maple versus other isolation. I've used a 2" Maple platform alone and in combination with a Gingko Cloud 11. Currently I'm using the Master platform from Critical Mass Systems. All wor... | |
| VPI Rim Drive What really helps optimize the performance of this drive is minimizing conatact pressure between the drive wheel and platter. I have found that the new belt's tackier grip enables lighter conact pressure than the old belt. This, along with it's in... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? You've just reached the same conclusion I most often do when considering an upgrade/change. When you sit down and listen and are still moved by your current set up why change? Anyone can spend a bunch of money and have a pretty system. A frugal hi... | |
| VPI Rim Drive New feet? Are these different than the replacement feet some of us are already using? |
