| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Diggory/Lewm.....that is MY history with Ortofon....as a matter of fact when I complained to them, they were very accomodating to send me a new cartridge, but it too had a bent stylus.....Even under the new plastic packaging anyone could see that ... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge I have personally owned 2 different era's of Ortofon cartridges and have had q/c problems with each of them. I know others that also had q/c problems with their Ortofons. I will not buy anything Ortofon | |
| setting VTF with a digital guage You don't need a digital gauge... The Shure thing gets it approximately right...then use your ears... On the VPI arm use the large Allen wrench to move the internal counterweight (accessible from the hole in the back of the arm tube) back and fort... | |
| Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China Some people have nothing constructive to do with their time but to bad mouth a company that deserves their success....in providing the high end audio community with value and support of the highest calibre. | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table Yes - The new arm is a drop in for the JMW unipivot. I spoke to Harry about it. The arm is very light, and has no resonance points. I have one on order and their new ceramic platter. I'll post my findings when I get the stuff. | |
| Best value in speaker cables?? If you get Anti-Cables, they come with a money back return. The only way to hear a cable is in your own system....every cable sounds different. I have level 3 Anti's bi-wired.....very pleased, but You have to like your choice. | |
| Phone Preamp help for VPI Scout w Grado Sonota MM I have all Ayre equipment...sure the Golden Ref's took the edge off, as well as the depth, air, and all the stuff that makes us Audiophiles. | |
| Thinking About Upgrading the VPI Tonearm Base I would save my money if I were you. I went from the 9 to 10.5i and the differences if any were hardly recognizable. On the other hand, VPI has a new arm that is actually 3D printed. If you want to upgrade, go there. | |
| Phone Preamp help for VPI Scout w Grado Sonota MM Mechans...be careful what you guarantee. In MY system, I tried many cables, but not were worse than Cardas.....I tried their whole line | |
| What's up with Ridge Street Cables If they are silver, and are heavy, perhaps you could sell it as bulk silver instead of cables. To have unused equipment just hanging around doesn't make sense to ME. | |
| ...just wondering Actusreus....I'm hesitant about telling you the price Harry told me....E-mail him and let HIM tell you. I thought it very reasonable, ...also reasonable is the price of the new arm. Every time I've upgraded with Harry's suggestion, I've been pleas... | |
| ...just wondering oh..Harry also tells me that the new arm is jaw dropping better than anything made....no resonances at all... I will post when I get the new arm and provide my thoughts. | |
| ...just wondering Raul....Harry tells me that the ceramic platter is really the current aluminum platter, with a bonded shell of ceramic material. I will have both to compare, and will post my findings (just my taste...others might disagree) | |
| ...just wondering When I get it and listen, I will let you all know. I'm also in line for the new printed tonearm. | |
| Cable Length Query I am using long balanced interconnects and short speaker cables....Vandersteen recommends that for his speakers, so I went with it. The system is extremely quiet ..even on phono. |
