| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions I don't think this is needed. I have a VPI arm which came with a VPI Single Point protractor. I was careful to align the cartridge to it, and no one has proven to me that there is any difference between my setup, using the VPI and any other method... | |
| Is there a big difference or am I wasting money? You are wasting your money. | |
| Thoughts on Phantom vs Copperhead? I think you have it wrong Gerardff... This guy doesn't like music, he just likes to own expensive toys. | |
| AQ PT-9 vs. Rb250-300 There is a caution regarding the Rega arms. When fitted with a heavy non-Rega counterweight, I've seen some bearing failures. The bearings are not super quality (price point) and don't like to take a beating. When looking for a Rega, carefully che... | |
| tt surface noise reduce or tolerate? I hardly ever clean my records...yes I do take the dust off of them before playing with a microfiber cloth with a touch of distilled water. I had a Rega and right there in the owners' manual it said to listen and not worry about the record's clean... | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? I wouldn't put FUN as the first word to describe this hobby. Expensive, frustrating, disappointing, and tedious all come before "fun". I am a private pilot...another "fun" hobby. It's only "fun" after you've landed at the place you wanted to witho... | |
| tt surface noise reduce or tolerate? I am one of those who say that vinyl can be almost as quiet as CD, however, and this is crucial....you must reread Plato's advice above. I have a Benz also, and indeed it is quiet - nearly no hiss on the vast majority of LP's. When the occasion po... | |
| AQ PT-9 vs. Rb250-300 ..The Rega is a better arm if and only if the modifications are made... dropped counterweight especially. | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? If you can find a Sonus Blue Body...I bet soundsmith could fix it for you | |
| cartridge selection for vpi10.5/refsupscoutmasters Harry W recommends the Dynaxv1 or the Benz LP. I am using the Benz LP with the Superscout, rim drive, heavy platter, 10.5i. I also suggest the Ebony H..the difference between that and the LP may not be that cost effective. The LP is a bit better, ... | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? In my experience Mortite dries up and is bad for that purpose. You need an ultra high compliance cartridge. Also, the Black Widow was designed for a light cartridge since the arm is easily flexed. | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? Look for a good Sonus Blue or an ADC cartridge. I had both of them in my Black Widow, and they were magic. | |
| new turntable/setup advice.....garrot Optim FGS I changed the VPI 9 Sig to the 10.5. on a Supersoutmaster with heavy platter using a Benz Ebony LP. There is an audible improvement, but it is very incremental. The big difference is that the 10.5 allows very precise repeatable VTA adjustment. If ... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital Bravo Violin.... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus, what step-up I think what you meant to say was that your last cartridge - the Phoenix sounded better than the Orpheus?? Be patient. My cartridge needed lots of time to find its place...yours does too. Talk to me in 3 months..but play it every day. |
