| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord Since all cable is system dependent, you must audition the cable in YOUR system to see if meets your expectations. All cable sounds different in different systems. | |
| Direct Drive turntables One of the posts above mentioned a wobble in the VPI rim drive. That is a common problem of poor setup. My rim drive is absolutely stable and sounds fabulous. | |
| Is a Sub worth the bother? Yes a powered sub will help - your main speaker will not "try" to do things it can't. The sub doesn't have to be a state of the art one...any powered sub will do. | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout As I said before - Denons and the S/S VPI 9 arm is a great combination....Harry himself says that. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System There is no correlation between cost and performance in wire. I use Anti-Cables...I compared it to the top of the lines in Nordost, Audioquest, Kimber, Wireworld, Purist, Cardas, etc.,etc. To my wife's and my ears, Anti-Cables came out best. The c... | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout Regarding Shelters and VPI arms.. The new stainless steel one or the additional weight if you have the aluminum one will serve the cartridge better than another combination. Benz and Dynas are best in the aluminum one. | |

| vpi super SSM rim drive vs grand prix monaco oops...forgot one more thing. That now rust colored rubber O-ring around the rim drive has to seat itself properly. Make sure the entire ring is properly seated in its groove. In addition, it has to seat itself properly...just play the table of a ... | |
| vpi super SSM rim drive vs grand prix monaco Yes indeed...setup is critical with these tables, but easily doable which yield fabulous results. There are current additions to the original. If the SuperScout you are looking at has metal feet on the motors, they have been replaced by a soft rub... | |
| Precise pivot to spindle distance Your (anyone's) printer is not accurate enough for printing a protractor. Get the Mint, and follow the directions closely. I know its not easy, and is tiresome, but just do it. | |
| vpi super SSM rim drive vs grand prix monaco Superscout Rim Drive benefits from sitting on one piece of thick Butcher Block. I know it's expensive, but bite the bullet and have at it...not an insignificant upgrade | |
| Ayre K1xe vs First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II Shsohis...Try Anti-Cables balanced with the Ayre |
