| sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive The counterintuitive IS provided with VPI 3D arms...not sure about the others. | |
| Fozgometer I just got a brand new replacement Foz from Musical Surroundings. Mike (service) calibrated it personally, and sent me a new battery as well. It took about 10 minutes or so to get the azimuth perfect. Now that the cartridge/arm is set up, I'm goin... | |
| Fozgometer I suppose an update is in order.... I got the replacement Ortofon and the cartridge is fine, but the Foz was indeed broken as well. I sent the Foz back to Musical Surrounding who told me the meters were shorted, and that they are sending me a new ... | |
| Azimuth question ..just some things to add about the Foz. Be absolutely sure you are using a brand new battery. Old batteries may seem to work, but are best tossed. Sometimes the meter doesn't work. If that's the case, the meter has very long extensions on it that... | |

| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke What in the world does the Caddilac mention have anything to do with wealth?...it does reveal class however. | |

| Preamp questions for new vinyl fan That zero-100 doesn't do you any favors. The bearings are very poor in the arm, and are probably gone. | |
| For VPI Unipivot Owners, do you use antiskating? My wife says the same thing about me Yogiboy. Actually, all I urge people to do is try it. ,,You can always put it back.... Zei Gazundt. |
