VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
Hi,thanks for the advice.I did know they make this extra base.The pick up has already one that takes it from 5gr up to 7.9gr.I wouldn't like to add any other external body i.e. any more resonance, if it was possible.If test with clay will go good ...

VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
Hi,thank you Doug and Srwooten.- I know, regulating just by moving counterweight is very tricky and affects azimuth too, I will try your method.- When I set the weight I am pointing at "time two" 's scale.- Sometimes I brush after magic eraser som...

just a quick note.I hope it will help people who will have the same problem I had.The solution is to take the screw for fine adjustments off the counterweight's stub.That way the counterweight will be a little bit away from the unipivot.Now I have...

P.S. I am going to buy Magic Eraser this afternoon to keep the stylus cleaned as you suggested many times. 
VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
wow so much useful stuff all at once.It sounds really complicated to me.I screwd the the screw all the way in and I moved sligly back the counterweight, but enough to not having it touch the pivot.I regulated the azimut with the LP test and my Flu...

VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
Hi,yes I am sure I have the SB2 option as I can see the silver base at the top of the cartridge.I temporarly fixed the issue using the screws supplied by VPI (they came with the TT) that are heavier than the screws they come with the cartridge.Wit... 
Setting VPI JMW 10.5i
thank you all.if I am not wrong Azimuth can either be set by rotating the counterweight or regulating a ring: which one is best?Everytime I try to move the counterweight backward or forward I am afraid of ruining the niddle because the tonearm wab...
