| Unstable Imaging - Causes? ..an easy way to check for proper azimuth is to use a small mirror (preferably one with the reflective side on the viewing side - a camera repair shop is one place to get such a mirror). Set the mirror on the turntable with the arm resting on the ... | |
| What should I add next? ..there really is never and end. Instead of asking strangers/friends, go to live musical events of performances you really like, and understand what real music sounds like. After awhile, you will know what to alter in your system to sound like the... | |
| Whats the best Cartridge for a bright Pro-ject 9 ? Benz Ace - Grados are sometimes issue laden | |
| Playing 45 rpm on VPI Scoutmaster ...if you're talking of the old rock 'n roll 45's, go to your local Home Depot, and get that ruberized kind of shelf paper/stuff. It looks kind of like basket weaved rubber speghetti. Cut an appropriate sized circle - the diameter of your turntabl... | |
| Cartridge Setup? Indeed - I've had dealers set up my cartridges and they NEVER got it right. I allow them to do it because they get it somewhat close, but I always fine tune. Sometimes it takes months before the cartridge breaks in and fine tuning is settled | |
| Tonearm Wire I never had any luck with Cardas. I have all Ayre components and the recommended Ayre cables are Cardas with Ayre nameplates. I originally had everything wired with these cables, and the more I got rid of, the better the sound. I am using totally ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I just moved to new digs in Scottsdale, Az. My stereo rig sounds so different here because of the room. The floors are French limestone blocks, 12 foot ceilings, the room is 14x30 with a totally glass wall on one side, and an open floor plan on th... | |
| DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs Have you guys heard the superscout with rim drive? ..and the VPI arm is a great arm when correctly set up. What arm sounds good haphazardly set up? I heard the Jubilee in a Triplanar and an SME V - seemed over the top hi-fi sounding to me in both. | |
| you've got $25,000.00 You've got to hear the VPI Superscout all tricked out with the rim drive... for the rest - spend it on records and tickets to live concerts | |
| DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs Of those three, I like the Dynavektor. The Jubilee always sounded hard whenever I heard it | |
| VPI JMW9 Sig. Arm Tube Ringing. Any remedies? Before making any mods to the arm (no offence Lwerener), I'd make sure the arm is functioning as intended. I have never heard a ringing when playing either the 9 Sig, or the 10.5i that I'm currently using. You may also try damping the arm slightly... | |
| VPI JMW9 Sig. Arm Tube Ringing. Any remedies? I used the Ebony 3H with the 9 inch Sig arm and it was jaw droppingly wonderful. I dont remember any ringing at all. Call VPI with your question...they are wonderful about solving problems like these. The E-mails are short and to the point, but th... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I use a Precision (brand name) steamer from Waldgreens.com Its about 20 dollars and I use it with really dirty garage sale albums. I also have a nitty gritty which does a good but not so thorough, but easier to use job. I also clean my stylus with... | |
| Rim Drive Super Scoutmaster (VPI) Personally, I would stick to VPI throughout or Teres throughout. I believe that the best can be had from the pieces designed for each other. If you check my system, I have all Ayre electonics and am pleased how well they work together. | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination I got into this Bi-wire thing when I got my Vandersteen 5A's. Richard Vandersteen says and I have become a believer that to bi-wire you must have 2 totally seperate pair of cables - 8 wires for a bi-wired stereo pair. Go to the Vandersteen website... |
