| woofer excursion at start of lp You don't mention your turntable....you very likely would eliminate the problem with damping....and would bring better sound to your system as well. Your explanation of the problem indicates an "iffy" match of cartridge to tonearm. | |
| Kuzma Four Point compared to SME V-12 tonearm Better cartridge | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? The rubber mat that gets static attractive to the record when you lift the record off of the platter has been replaced by a non-attractive rubber mat. | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? Bif....lets see now.... if indeed there is a change to having the spindle area raised, that would mean that with the outer ring and center weight applied, there would be greater tension on the record...more downward force. ..may be a good idea. I ... | |
| Kuzma Four Point compared to SME V-12 tonearm DCTOM - I can't understand how you can say the original LP, and the LPS are close in performance. I hear an enormous difference between the 2 cartridges...the LPS being much, much better. I'm using the VPI printed arm. | |
| VPI Classic platter - is center milled? The classic platter has a depression in its center....it looks like it would accommodate the label of a record. I tried with and without the rubber mat...the rubber mat wins for me. Without it the sound is too - errrr metallic | |
| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? Hi all....been on vacation...Took a sailing ship to Costa Rica and through the Panama Canal....anyway....yup its shrink wrap. Does eliminate some ringing, which may in some cases can do away with or reduce damping at the pivot. Damping seems to sl... | |

| turntable mats: should I use one? Personally, I like the Boston Mat.....although I've never heard one specifically on a Sota | |

| Turntable suggestion -- budget.. or not? The VPI Traveler is a great sounding and solidly built table with great support from VPI.....you should look at that one. | |
| VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question I had both, and the aluminum one is far superior...bass, midrange, and highs. I now have the ceramic coated one that is actually the same as the aluminum, but better looking (no hand/finger prints) | |
| What would give the best overall improvement Moonguy....I found that Terra Stones are not as good as my Bearpaws when used with my Superscout/rim drive. HOWEVER... what I DID find was that the Terra Stones in the front corners of my room did wonders with some room resonance I had. (discovere... |
