| Cambridge 540P If you're happy, remain so...don't do anything different. Almost any time I've changed thinking it was for the better, I have almost always been disappointed. There is usually an issue to resolve. Stay happy. | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better I really like the guys at Gingko. They are honest, kind, and have a very good product. I have their dust cover which makes the Superscoutmaster look like a museum piece. (By the way... if you are thinking of the dust cover, make sure you know your... | |
| Thinking about selling Vinyl collection - long Kencrouch... Put my name on your list of interested prospects. | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Powerdoctor..I don't think that would work, but by all means try it. I suspect the rim drives need the soft footers under the motor assembly to damp any out of roundness with the rim drive, and solid platform under the turntable proper as usual fo... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better OOPS - I didn't respond to your speed question. I use the VPI strobe that came with the Supscoutmaster, and a neon light I got for about 3 dollars at Home Depot. When I first installed the rim drive, it ran either very fast or very slow - I forgot... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better I just turned on my table and put my ear right up against the motor assembly and heard nothing.. It is very quiet indeed. I would call VPI. I don't know when you got your new drive, but they have just changed the formulation for that belt. Call Ha... | |
| Rega RB300 Arm Need Help with Setup The spring that pushes the arm down resonates. To improve the sound of your arm set the weight for the highest setting available which clamps the spring tight. Use only the rear counterweight to set your VTF. If you use the Shure scale, it registe... | |
| Can you make some sense? - Problem Not necessarily.. You could have some tarnish blocking one leg somewhere.. I would undo the left channel wires to the cartridge, and left channel cables to the preamp. Clean the connections with alcohol and a toothpick, pipe cleaner, etc. and try ... | |
| VPI TNT static problem, Why? I bet VPI has an answer... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better TFK..Have you put a soft material under the motor assembly, and make sure the turntable itself is solidly resting directly on your table?? That soft footer/solid setup completely cured all the problems...and it sounds absolutely stunning. MUCH bet... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow I was rootin' for Fedderer...oh well. | |
| How much money on speaker cable? Relo and others. You're right...high end Audioquest, Nordost, etc. do sound very good, however, in my system, the Speltz anti-cables beat all of the high priced spread handily. In truth, each system is different, and reacts differently to differen... | |
| Used Maggies They are really good midrange speakers if driven with top flight electronics, however, you must be absolutely on axis to appreciate its strengths. I always thought it was like listening through a smallish window. | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers, any suggestions? Check out Vandersteen 5A's . They are very musical, can be adjusted to your room for best interface, and a steal at the price. | |
| Opinions on MBL 121's I recently heard an all MBL system that was very, very expensive, and very, very bad. It sounded big, and heavy - much like a Panzer tank. It was the antithesis of music in real time and space. Yuk |
