| VPI Rim Drive Mine sounds fine as well. If I didn't have a KAB strobe I wouldn't notice the settle in time at all. I have noticed that every time I reposition the motor assembly or ,in this case, change the drive belt, it takes a few hours of settling in for th... | |
| VPI Rim Drive The new belt arrived yesterday, impressively fast. It does feel like a compound better suited to it's task. So far I only have about an hour of use on it but it does provide better grip on the platter with even lower contact noise. It seems every ... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. True. Unfortunate is a better word and it is a beautiful table. Maybe it will lead to similar products at prices more within reach of the majority. Let's hope so. | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. I mean no disrepect to the designers of this product and I realize I chose the wrong place to post my opinion. My enthusiasm over cutting edge stuff like this is quelled when I realize that virtually no one can afford it.(raised in a hard working ... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. I was intigued at the Saskia turntable until I looked a bit further and found that the price was $36,000. Great sound aside, maybe it's time to question the prices of some of this equipment. I'm sure the R&D and build quality are top notch. We... | |
| Any opinions on the Lyra stylus cleaning fluid? I'm mostly using the magic eraser as well but I do rotate my zerodust in between sides because I figure it has a gentler action. I also have some Disc Doctor fluid and brush left which I occasionally still apply. I guess I'm thinking a variety of ... | |
| Which component upgrade will produce more BASS? Agree with audiofeil. 8" woofers won't move enough air to reproduce lower octaves with aplomb. If this is what you're after, go for at least a 10 if not 12" woofer. I don't know what kind of midbass driver this speaker has but 8" is also too big t... | |
| VPI Rim Drive My E-mail is in. Hopefully it won't take 4 months for them to get me one. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| VPI Rim Drive Stringreen,I knew it was about time for this to be available and considered starting a thread to inquire about it soon. I'm certainly glad to hear that you feel it's an improvement. Did youn call VPI and request it or are they sending one to all w... | |
| Great sounding new vinyl Madfloyd,Click on the first section, "All Vinyl". Scroll down and you'll find links to Recommended classical, rock, pop, and blues on heavy vinyl and even Audiophile recordings of special merit. You're right, he tends to hate most new vinyl but I ... | |
| New record=Bad Sound Don't fret too much about bad records. They happen. That's part of what makes finding a really good one so much fun. Life's too short to plays the ones you don't like. Get rid of them to make space for more gems. | |
| Walker Vortex Vacuum Wand for VPI I agree with Emailists. The more I think about this the more I wonder about it's saftey. I definitely am not ruling it out but I need hear more success stories before I take the plunge. So far, I can't find this thing on Walker's own website. Has ... | |
| Great sounding new vinyl Sorry,Also meant to say that, although the Classic is getting out of reach for FBR, keep your eyes open for the Cypress. My last two NM copies were $11 and $6, both quite good. | |
| Great sounding new vinyl J,It's easy for people to become jaded toward new vinyl issues after being bitten a few times. It doesn't help that magazine reviewers gush about almost everything they hear. That's why I would steer you toward the Better Records site for recs on ... | |
| Walker prelude vs. Audio Intelligent Has anyone compared steaming with any fluid regimen head to head against either of these two systems alone. Reading a post like this tempts me to try the Walker system but then when I consider the price and the success I'm having with Disc Doctor,... |
