| setting azimuth on VPI turntables The DMM and Cardas gives excellent results...but so too does the rod method if done carefully. The DMM method is a bit of a pain to go through the hoops, but the results are very clear. As I have said in another post, if you reduce the distance be... | |
| Showdown: Your Favorite Cart for Classical? I'm just wondering why there should be a "classical" music preference for a cartridge. It seems to me that all the same issues are in play to reproduce any kind of music...wide dynamic range, full frequency response, clarity, etc., etc. A cartridg... | |
| Scout Sig with heavy platter or Scoutmaster? oops - I mean the Superscoutmaster | |
| Scout Sig with heavy platter or Scoutmaster? I would (did) get the Scoutmaster. It comes with the motor control, dual motors, and double plinth. If you must wait get the heavy plater later, and the rim drive as well. I think the Dyna is a better sounding cartridge. Coming from a Sonata it is... | |
| incognito rewire-sonic improvement? Thom_machris... One of the big differences between the basic VPI 9 inch tonearm and the VPI Signature, is the replacement of Discovery cable to Nordost. The difference is easy to hear in favor of the Nordost. I rewired my Rega arm with Incognito w... | |
| 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, ... |
