| 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... | |
| 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. |
