| maple platform for tt. However.....a heavy maple platform is the best thing under a VPI table. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster feet Hiendmuse is correct. The original VPI cones become increasingly unstable as you adjust them...the new feet don't. In that respect, the sound is improved, however, they are not a major step up like the SDS or rim drive is. | |
| Anti-Skate::Playing LP's vs. 12 ..by the way N803 - that Ebony H is one fantastic cartridge. I am very acquainted with it. It's greatness however is only fully realized at the VTF that it "likes". Do not be haphazard in selecting a force...listen carefully. A change of the small... | |
| Anti-Skate::Playing LP's vs. 12 I suspect that some of your dance club singles et al have been damaged. Don't drive yourself nuts with anti-skate. It is not that important. Technically speaking, because 45 rpm is faster than 33, there is an additional inward force, however, it i... | |
| M20FL Super Compliance? Derek....you also must remember that there are 2 iterations of the 10.5 VPI arm. There is an arm wand made of aluminum and therefore light as compared to the stainless steel one that you probably have which is heavier. Higher compliance in a cartr... | |
| Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature? The best I ever heard was with Ayre or Audio Research. | |
| VPI Scout owners, do you use.... I haven't heard a difference when changing to a better cable for the SDS....I had an extra one, so I use it, but I couldn't hear a difference that I could readily detect. | |
| VPI rimdrive squeaks Hiendmuse...isn't that odd....VPI changed to the rubber feet on the motor assembly from the solid metal original ones to allow the motor assembly to slightly rock so as not to transmit any out of roundness of the rim drive to the platter. You're s... | |
| VPI rimdrive squeaks Rateourmover....Actually the rust colored belt is an updated version of the original black belt. Also, the feet of the motor assembly has been changed to a kind of sponge rubber...the original ones were solid aluminum. | |
| VPI rimdrive squeaks My rim drive is dead silent. My problem is with vibrations from the motor assembly being transferred to the platter and then to the tonearm. I find that great care needs to be maintained not to twist the rust colored O-ring as it is installed on t... | |
| LP Cleaning brush Did you ever try a Swiffer duster?? I like it..does the job. | |
| Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic? Don't skimp on the cartridge. The turntable deserves the very best. | |
| Koetsu Blue Lace Onyx vs. Coralstone I once was a fan of Koetsu...however, I tend to think of them as audio candy rather than a cartridge I would own. If I were you, I would listen to the Koetsu of your choice compared with the top examples of Dyna, Benz, etc. I know it is a difficul... | |
| Which cartridge do you use with the vpi classic? You guys have to remember that VPI now makes their arms with Stainless Steel instead of aluminum. This increases mass a bit. My experience is with the aluminum arms in which Benz's and Dyna's where/are excellent matches but with a bit of damping. ... | |
| Using Power Conditioners/Distribu with Amplifiers ...and as for me.... I have never met a power conditioner that although has sometimes changed the sound for the better on some aspects of the presentation, has also injected some "nasties" which eventually I found more displeasing than the benefit... |
