| Isolation and Harsh Highs? ..about medical grade lexan....very pure, also very expensive. This stuff is used in heart/lung machines. I made shelves from these, and all of my components are resting very comfortably on them. I tried many, many materials - 30 or so different w... | |
| Microscope for phono cartidge I remember seeing a kid's toy electronic microscope - inexpensive and very worthwhile for stylus examinations. I don't remember where I saw it, but check toy stores or Google. | |
| More on VPI Anti-Skate Thanks Dougdeacon.. It is wonderful here in North Scottsdale...only one problem.. I have yet to get the acoustics fine tuned in my new sound room (15x24 ft with 12 ft ceilings). I'm working on it though and every day brings me closer. | |
| Who does not like the Lyra Dorian? My cartridge took hundreds of hours to sound good...now its excellent (maybe it needs a retip its been so long). All kiding aside....live with it for awhile. Lyras are good cartridges, but they too take a while to break in. | |
| Isolation and Harsh Highs? ..even better than maple is lexan - 1 inch thick of medical grade.... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm VERY!! | |
| DynaVector DV505 is it worth the hassle? odd... Albertporter... in your first paragraph you find the arm with no issues other than its appearance and weight...in the second paragraph you chastise it for its ultra sensitivity to VTA and record warp. | |
| More on VPI Anti-Skate MJGLO, did you notice that the anti-skating device can be set a number of ways. When the mechanism is adjusted so that the weighted arm that provides the reactive force is at its outmost point, the force is at its maximum. Very little outward pres... | |

| More on VPI Anti-Skate New room theory may have played some part, however, I can still hear some differences for the better as is under the earphones... Sennheiser 650 with balanced Cardas cable into Headroom Blockhead all balanced. | |
| More on VPI Anti-Skate Regarding the fluid level... If I look into the well with the arm removed, my fluid level is about 1/2 way up the cone before the shape turns into the pin. Remember however, that all cartridges are different. I am using the Benz Ebony LP. Listen f... | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? Harry sells more turntables than anyone else..you set it up and play music through it. The VPI doesn't have to be readjusted..it's stable as can be. The 10.5i arm has extremely easy VTA repeatability. The top dual motors with rim drive are in the ... | |
| VPI anti-skate device I had a 9 Sig, and now am using the 10.5. In both cases the device worked without problems. I have the rubber washers about 1/2 way up its arm. It never interfered with the tonearm except in providing side thrust compensation. If I send a picture ... | |
| VPI JMW9 Sig toneram cables - what do you use? There is no cable on earth that degrades my system as much as any of the Cardas cables do. Truely awful in my setup...especially their power cables. | |
| I walked into a dealer and got a shock.... ..again... I never pushed my Rega, and once the belt was cleaned I never had any trouble. Belts I was told lasts at least 5 years. |
