| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions The sound can be very good, or not so good depending on the setup. The problem is that if you get someone who really can set up your Linn, by the time you get it home, it's out of adjustment. I had the official Linn manual which explains the adjus... | |
| What is your cartridge and tracking force used Right now I'm using the 3D arm. As I said in another post, it is a real PIA to set up with any kind of finess. The arm is very much tapered so I'm just guessing if its horizontal or not. The Benz LPS is tracking about 2.1. Harry promised me a new ... | |
| New ZYX Premium cartridge line Did you notice the magic gizmo attached to the front of the new Zyx cartridges?? I wonder if that's the Walker mod????? | |
| Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it? Every time I modified my Rega arm, the sound got better....if the cost justifies the move, is up to you | |
| How long does it take you to install a cartridge? Goldeneraguy....I would never trust a "pro" to set up my cartridge. He just isn't going to take the time, energy, and provide the listen (with your own components in your own room) to get the cartridge to sound its best. | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Don...the 10.5 was a cinch compared to the 3D....but wait....There is a new rear counterweight assembly that will make it a breeze to set up VPI arms with great and repeatable precision. Don't even think about it Don...evidently VPI is not your cu... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm I've written on a new post about the sound of this arm....MUCH better than the 10.5, however, do not get it until the new rear counterweight is released to the public....about a month. | |
| Shifting absolutes Yes but everything sounds different in different venues. I am a violinist, well acquainted with the sound of my instrument, but in each hall I play, it sounds like a different instrument. There are no absolutes | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Guessing is way too complicated with this cartridge on this installation. What I did today was LISTEN. The arm is a bit high, but not absurdly so which the microsope dictated. I just heard Mahler's 2nd symphony conducted by Bernstein on DG....E-Ga... | |
| VPI Classic Platter - Polishing?? Get the ceramic platter...its prettier too | |
| Fozgometer Connection Dopogue....gee it worked perfectly with my preamp. The tape outputs are not affected by the volume control, tone controls, etc. It seemed like the perfect place to give the Foz the signal. | |
| New VPI 3D Arm By the way....SME advises loading enough lead on their rear counterweight to bring it as close as possible to the fulcrum in setting up the SME V | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Regarding the weight of the counterweight.....I also have the original 120 gm weight. I can set up the arm with that one and listen. That is a project for another time. Right now, the arm sounds great so I'll just listen and enjoy. (I just played ... | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Chayro.... Harry has always stood by his customers and is always anxious to help...to adjust, rectify any problem, etc. | |
| tonearm parameters I MY experience, adjustment of azimuth is a vital contribution to proper vinyl playback. After you get the proper geometry for your arm length, and get proper downward force, azimuth is next in importance...though all parameters are vital. |
