| Where can I find a Benz lps cartridge for sale? Sonofjim.....I have an LPS and haven't had problems. I had it in a 10.5i, and now in a 3D arm and it sounds great in both (though the 3D is really special). VPI recommended a proper counterweight and there is nothing that this thing can't play. | |
| VPI 10.5i counterweights ..umm.. weights VPI has any counterweight you need....they will recommend the one you should have. Lyra recommends a gimbaled arm for their cartridges. VPI has new side weights for their arms that work well ....better than the older weights. Get in touch with VPI... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump Bifwynne.....Actually, I have a modified Superscoutmaster rim drive.....doesn't get warm at all. Never heard of an overheating complaint from others I know who own a Classic 3 | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump Bpoletti...thanks for the answer | |
| Will power cables improve a VPI Classic 3 tt? NOPE....nice try | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I totally agree with Mattmiller....tried all the Cardas permutations, and they all don't work in my system....I exchanged my B&W's for Vandersteen and am still smiling after all these years. | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump Perhaps my system being totally balanced (all XLR connections) including turntable and everything else has something to do with it??? | |
| Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords I have 5A's and experimented with power cords for them.....I really couldn't hear the difference....I have a pair of extra audiophile power cords and so I use them. | |
| Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change? Atmosphere...you're absolutely correct. I found that the high priced spread often is not as good as the lesser ones. I feel that there is no such thing as "The Absolute Sound". Yes, there are qualities that we appreciate being reproduced, but I've... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Check out Ayre...they have a new one that looks great ...especially given what I know about Ayre. High priced, but probably great. | |
| VPI SDS exact speed in .... 40 minutes? Theres an worthwhile app to check rpm of turntables...irpm...and it works | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage 3 dimensionality is the land of the high priced spread. Surely your room can be treated, your power cords can be improved, but you will get incremental improvements.... Not until you get good (expensive) components will you achieve your goals. | |
| VPI Scout set up You'll get used to handling the unipivot arm.....it will track just like a regular arm when playing a record...no wobble at all. You should get a Fozgometer...makes setting up the arm easy. | |
| Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change? Standards, Schmandards, ....I'm a musician not a scientist. My system is DEAD quiet, and sounds like music....that's all I care about | |
| Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change? Atmasphere.....I have a totally balanced system (all Ayre components) and can readily hear the difference in cables.... |
