| Benz LP Ebony, and S-Class Ebony Sonofjim... This is an honor and certainly no offense is taken. I have my LP set for a tad under 2 grams, but who knows... I only have a Shure scale which gives me only the ballpark approximation... the system is flawed and the sliding weight...es... | |
| Benz LP Ebony, and S-Class Ebony Thom_mackris agreed with me one some point...he can't be a bad guy thinks me, so I went to his website. After reading lots of really interesting and great tips, I came across how important and critical is an exact VTF for the cartridge. Also there... | |
| Interchangeabe tonearms with RB300 The VPI arm screws into the top plate with wood screws...not hard at all. It's not a "drop in", but is very easy to attach. | |
| Benz LP Ebony, and S-Class Ebony Yes - The mass comes from additional bracing - I think they use a brass skeletin to strengthen the Ebony wood. Have you noticed a change needed in VTA, or damping? Does it look the same as the older LP= or can you see any differences. Khrys.. perh... | |
| Is it safe to use Cardas lp todegrauss MM cart Yes it is safe - its like playing a record of any kind of music. Yes if the sound comes out of the speakers, it degausses the whole phono chain. Personally, I find the results minimally impressive, however that's true on my system, yours may be di... | |
| Cartridge downgrade? Yes I did. ..but that was then and this is now. The LP has more delicacy, more inner detail, however it is an incremental upgrade. I could be happy with the H as well... I think. | |
| Upgrade RB300 Tonearm or Not? Always upgrade... Let do our part for the economy... | |
| how to remove the VPI JMW9 arm base Surely you can call or E-mail VPI, but (and it has been a while since I installed my 10.5), however, I remember the arm base was held in place by wood screws. Be careful when you attach the 10.5 base. Put the template on the plinth, tight up again... | |
| Cartridge downgrade? I know Benz hasn't lit fire on these pages, but you really should at least audition the Ebony LP or H. Ayre turned me on to mine, and there are a number of ears I respect who say they both are better than the Dyna XV1S. | |
| SSM w/Rim Drive - Cloud 11 Vibration issues? Absolutely, you can contact Mike, however, to put your mind at ease, I had some motor noise when I first installed the rim drive, but it's now gone. I really can't remember, but I think it went away about the same time as I used the softer footers. | |
| I just went up two notches in resolution I understand that many Outlaw products are made by Sherwood and and rebadgeed. ..just information, not judgement. I have an Outlaw sub for my Hi Def surround TV system | |
| SSM w/Rim Drive - Cloud 11 Vibration issues? Harry told me that Pearson thinks the Superscout with the rim drive is fabulous. There is a review of it which hasn't been published yet. I suppose when these "little bugs" get exterminated, they will run the review. | |
| JMW 12.5 ZYX Cosmos azimuth setting Rennie_Perth There HAS to be a way to tilt the arm to correct for azimuth. All the new arms from VPI are adjusted by swinging the dropped counterweight. Yours is an older design. I checked the VPI website and the owners'manual is not posted for yo... | |
| SSM w/Rim Drive - Cloud 11 Vibration issues? I am actually using a soft gummy kind of material that once was a mouse pad. Naturally, I tried many different materials, but this was better than the felt. I am very happy with my rim drive setup now. It is far better than when the belts provided... | |
