| Which TT for my system? You can't go wrong with a VPI product. They strongly support their products and have an excellent upgrade path. They are made in New Jersey, and are always there for guidance should you need it. | |
| What oil for VPI HW19 turntable? I think VPI recommends adding oil (not changing it) once a year. I have been doing that and have not had any problems. I use VPI oil/grease. I have a Superscoutmaster, so I use the oil for the motors and put some grease at the platter bearing. I s... | |
| High output MC cartridges I had a Benz Ebony H which was one great cartridge. I changed to the low output Ebony LP and got a bit more refinement - I was looking for that Holly Grail. In fact, the high ouput was Very good, letting my pre just loaf, which provided great dyna... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? I heard the new Wilsons, and the old Wilsons, and neither are what music sounds like to these ears. If they do to you, fine...I suggest you go to some live performances. | |
| Any suggestions for top-end home-made cables? Go to VHAudio.com....they have it all...answers and gear. | |
| Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs The way I hear it is that the Vandersteen is a much more complete speaker wear as the Maggies have that very special midrange.with little else. For some, that midrange is so good that everything else can be ignored...For everyday pleasures, I woul... | |
| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? I would ask VPI...they will give you an honest answer. | |
| VPI rimdrive squeaks ...just remembered....I DID have a squeek when I first got my Superscout. I was told by Harry to lube the motor shafts which I did and never had any squeeks thereafter. I used the VPI lube that looked like oil that was sent to me. | |
| Speakers to alleviate room anomolies Agreed with Rhljazz... Vandersteens have the ability to closely match the room. It works very well when you have a Vandersteen dealer set them up. They use a mike and a special CD to adjust the various pots built into the speakers's amps. | |
| Verus Vs Rim Drive I was just about to write about how fussy the rim drive is to set up when I read those other posts. My VPI rim drive is quite fabulous now, but I've been tweeking it for about a year....different feet on motor drive...different Oring on the rim dr... | |
| Underappreciated components. I believe VPI is underrated | |
| Need small subwoofer for thump Outlaw Audio has a good small sub you should check out. I've been using it for years with great success. | |
| LPs of Clarinet pcs Interesting that you say that... Nolitan. The clarinet is one of the very few instruments in the orchestra that is designed to sound different in different ranges. The bottom octave is SO different in fact, it has its own name...the Chalamot regis... | |
| What is your dream turntable? I have it | |
| Best speakers for home theater/voice clarity? ..and this is really driving me nuts. I have a Denon receiver, NHT speakers and a Panasonic Blu-Ray. Music is pretty good, but intelligibility stinks. I thought that Blu-Ray would give better sound, (and it may in music), but I don't understand wh... |
