| Have You Tried the Super Platter I agree completely with Cincy-bob. I have a Superscoutmaster tricked out with the super platter and rim drive and both are worthwhile upgrades with the rim drive being a very dramatic improvement | |
| Cartridge upgrade question Use a high output cartridge and don't fiddle with the pre.. | |
| J.A. Mitchell TecnoWeight ..regarding the spring on the Rega arm... It resonates and therefore blurs the mids. Leave the spring tension on max, or zero (though I heard some on zero resonate too) and set VTF only by the rear weight. MAKE SURE THE TABLE IS LEVEL> | |
| Nakamichi cassette playback in non-Nak deck? I had a 7000 II Nak. CD, Phono, fm, and I-Pod (with excellent earphones) are way better | |
| 33 1/2 compared to 45 rpm ???? 12 inch 45's sound better, but are over too soon. If you are all manual, they are a pain | |
| Any idea what this goo is on my record? Steam Clean it and then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. | |
| setting azimuth on VPI turntables You guys are absolutely correct. Turntable setup requires a lot of patience and careful adjustment to reap the benefits of that big money outlay. Also, we usually put a new cartridge in the new turntable/arm. The cartridge will be in constant flux... | |

| Synergistic Research's Tricon Phono Cable ..try Anti-Cables... they have a money back guarantee, and the price and performance are top notch. | |
| The VPI Rim Drive Thanks Rsrex, I was just about to post that same issue. ...but also, the producer decides which tune is 1st, and last...not the audio engineer. I have made a few records, and have been to meetings to discuss that very same issue. It is not true th... | |
| Excellent sounding cartridges for Rega P3/24? I thought the high output Ebony was so good that I HAD to get the low output LP. At first it was very disappointing. It really took over 100 hours to break in...I guess that means it will take a very long time before it breaks. Its a very durable ... | |
| The VPI Rim Drive Regarding the rim drive. I think it did wonders for my system. The solidity of the table is astonishing..kind of like the belt drive is a bit under water. The kit is easy to accomplish. If you decide on it,the arm will rock, jiggle, and scootch wh... | |
| Excellent sounding cartridges for Rega P3/24? I had a P25 with lots of mods to the arm and ran a Benz Ebony High Output. It was wonderful. ..jaw dropping good. |
