| Difference between the VPI Aries 2 & Scoutmaster? Let me likewise express my complete satisfaction with my Aries 2. I have upgraded to the dual motor /flywheel, which was a significant jump in performance. To echo Steve's sentiments, despite changing out virtually every other component in my syst... | |
| Matless Platter VPI 16.5 What do you find objectionable about the cork mat? It provides a non abrasive, non-skid surface. | |
| Capri to the monoblocs 501, which cables? I have a Model 10; pair of 201s and Coherence II and exclusively use Cerious Technologies PCs and ICs. | |
| scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5 I use a 12" x 12" corkboard tile and scrub off the VPI | |
| scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5 You scrub with moderate pressure. I scrub one-third of a record at a time with a back and forth motion; maybe 5-6 passes at a time, moving clockwise across the record.

| Sealed Vinyl Elizabeth: If you are dealing with a reputable vendor, then slitting open a sealed record is not very cool. If you have a local brick and mortar store, you should consider yourself lucky. Mark-up on new vinyl is very slim to begin with. If the ven... | |
| Sealed Vinyl Elf73 I simply follow the old adage, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. Also, if the record is from the 50-70s and has a barcode, thats a pretty good tipoff that your looking at a reissue. Frankly, I rather buy a used record which is ... | |
| Sealed Vinyl Not to rain on your parade, but is it possible that what you found were Scorpio reissues? Scorpio is a wholesaler out of NJ which has flooded the market with vinyl from digital sources, many of which I suspect are unauthorized. I hope I am mistake... | |
