| Platform for VPI super scoutmaster There is nothing worse for the VPI SSM than the Gingko platform. The guys at Gingko are great guys, but their platform just is very wrong with your table. The SSM needs a very solid platform to the center of the earth...NO WIGGLE ROOM> In other... | |
| 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. | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video jm...The counter-intuitive is excellent if you change arms/cartridges....otherwise, it has no use at all. I've set up numerous VPI arms and once you get the idea, it is quite easy to do. | |
| DYNAVECTOR XV1T - XV-1T VTF ?? 2.7 seems too high to me. I know this cartridge well, and if adjusted properly, 2 grams - even a bit less is all that is required. | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video I get better sound with NO anti-skate at all. I tried the twist method and the actual anti-skate gizmo, but my cartridge sounds best with none at all. | |
| Experiences with Blu-ray players ...just my take, but Bluray is disappointing. Very rarely is it better than its Redbook counterpart. | |
| CD PLAYER I love my Ayre....comes damned close and sometimes and in some ways surpases vinyl | |
| How do I smooth out violins? Get better equipment or roll off the highs. | |
| Ayre D to A Hgeifman...thanks. The reason I am looking first to Ayre is because I have an all Ayre system with a C5xemp silver disc player (phenomenal...although the Superscout/Rim Drive/Benz LPS is a bit better most of the time. I'm also been interested in t... |
