| Component Impact Sure.....the system operates at the ability of the weakest link in the chain | |
| Platform for VPI super scoutmaster Kbell...yes...but I don't have the problem anymore because the motor assembly soft footers can account for any deviation in the roundness of the platter which is firmly supported by bear paws. | |
| "Dented tweeters Does not affect sound " I don't like dented speakers....if they make an audible difference or not it still bothers me. You can sometimes straighten the dent by using tape or a pin to pull out the dent.. I would either send the speaker for repair or replace the driver mys... | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? I found that floors are not square, and one speaker may be off just a hair...just enough to blur the sound. I use a laser to find the exact pitch of each speaker, and then shim if necessary. | |
| Platform for VPI super scoutmaster Icorem...Just looked...sure does ...but that's an old picture. I use Bearpaws under the turntable now with a great improvement. I have the rim drive Superscoutmaster which rocked the arm back and forth until I discovered that the Superplatter coul... | |
| Esoteric SA-10 or Ayre CX-7e: Too close to call?? Both you and I love Ayre....go for it. | |
| Do balanced/symmetrical phono cables really exist? I am using balanced cables from the cartridge into the speakers...everything is balanced. The result is absolutely dead quiet backgrounds...wonderful sound. The tonearm should be wired to accept balanced connection...some are from the factory and ... | |

| Speakers or..... I would stick with the Vandersteens and upgrade the amp. Talk to John at Audio Connection in Verona, New Jersey. I don't know where you live, but I'm sure he would talk to you and give good professional advice. | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video My point is that there are those that think Harry didn't notice or care that to require the rear counterweight to do 2 things with little efficiency of duty is not to credit him with a well thought out product bearing the name of his son. The Coun... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Tonearms No drilling required....the arm mounts on the surface which requires installing 3 (I think) screws....very easily done. VPI will send you a metal guide for precision installation. The only caveat is that the screws go in straight and not at an ang... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video Actjsreus... Why argue with you. You can and I do force the rear coutnerweight with extreme accuracy...in minute increments without any damage at all to the arm. Obviously you are in need of this thing that I still see no use for except for the ti... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video I wrote a response to this but it was not published so I'll try again. If you think that you need the CounterIntuitive, by all means use it. Here are some things though you might have missed in setting up your VPI arms. You do not need to loosen t... | |
| Speaker Placement Speaker placement is dictated by the room, not ones ears | |
| Experiences with Blu-ray players kr4 How does one find the right ones?? I pick my music for the music...I used to try to get it in SACD, but all too often I was disappointed. |
