| What did you own in the 60's? ( I think) it was a Rek-0-kut turntable with either an ESL or Grado Lab arm with the top Grado cartridge at that time, with Citation amp and preamp and KLH speakers (I moved to Thiels, but don't recall when) | |
| Does a flat ceiling provide the best sound? I have 16 ft ceilings (though flat) and it was a nightmare to adjust for good sound. | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic wlutke....how do you know if the diamond was installed at its optimal position. Chances are quite good its off - you can only tell and then adjust with the Foz. | |
| Can upgraded power cords help my setup? Upgraded power cords helped every component I upgraded...some much more obvious than others, but all to at lease some degree. | |
| Acoustic Signature customer service This is why people should support the leaders in the field that support them back. | |
| Mint lp best tractor for VPI Classic I agree that the Mint is a very valuable setup tool, however, the Fozgometer and its accompanying disc is as valuable as well. The rod on the arm method is very approximate, and doesn't usually work to give all the air, dynamics, depth, etc. (unle... | |
| Does a flat ceiling provide the best sound? Speakers are designed with an 8ft flat ceiling in mind. Anything else requires adjustments and compromises | |
| Parasound JC3+ making buzzzzzzz I suppose its only with the turntable?.... If the balanced cable cures the problem, why use it single ended?.... Have you tried a different wall socket for the pre? ..turntable? Does this happen with the turntable plugged/unplugged? | |

| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced Fully balanced equipment is always more expensive because the design has separate circuits for the + and - portions..... XLR connections on equipment makes for a selling point. If you have both - try them both and see if you can hear a difference. | |
| VPI Prime 3D arm making noise VPI 3D arms can warp, crack (it happened to me). Your post doesn't sound like you are trying to rotate the rear weight.... If this is as you describe, contact Marc at VPIindustries. | |
| VPI antiskate nylon string and collar As you rotate the a/s device on the junction box, it can provide the greatest a/s force to be set variably... As the cartridge moves across the record, skating force changes...some say the greatest force is at the end of the record (the loudest us... | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? I tried some quartz crystals in various parts of my stereo....found they did nothing, until I put them in my electrical panel...then I heard a very real improvement. | |
| VPI antiskate nylon string and collar no. The collar is affixed as close as you can on fhe arm, and behind the spike (bearing). The arm itself should be adjusted a precisely as you can. Personally, I found that no antiskate at all is my preference, so took the ring/fishing line off... | |
| Isolation footers for amps I use Stillpoints, but have collected (and still have) many different points, rollers, etc., etc., etc. They all do something...sometimes you like what the ones being tried do, sometimes, you don't. It may take a few months to realize a particu... |
