| 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 Discovery wire....I didn't ask Harry that question. The Nordost wire I had in the 10.5i was definitely more sensitive to the upper frequencies, and thus sounded "harder" overall. The most salient characteristic about the 3D arm is is... | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Don...Why would you ask such a dumb question?? | |
| Power cords? In my experience the connectors are responsible for 80% or so of the sound....maybe more. | |
