| VPI Scout Rubber Washer Issue Have you tried the "no washer" test?? | |
| SME record clamp causing convex playing surface It seems to me that the record should be flat in the table in order for the resonances of the plastic to drain away, and not be allowed to affect the stylus...no? | |
| Belt vs. string I just changed my Superscoutmaster from the normal belt drive to the new rim drive. The results are appreciably better. I suppose that's because the belts were stretching and contracting. I suspect that if you use a more stable belt on the belt dr... | |
| How long to wear a record out? How does one define "wear out"? With every play, record/arm drop, etc., comes another pop, click, etc. When these noises become too much for the owner, the record is done. Too light tracking/ bent stylus, will damage it. I, myself have never throw... | |
| VPI anti-skate device I am wondering how so many Audiogoners have the definitive answer. Dodgealum - the word "Nope" should have been written - "I don't think so". Nordost is silver wire - a very soft metal. Indeed after a time - not too long either, the tension of tha... | |
| VPI anti-skate device No Dodgealum..wrong advice. Although the twist method may be correct when new, eventually the wire looses its tension. To be truthful, Harry likes no anti-skate at all, however, I have found the VPI device audibly helpful. I had the 9 Sig, and now... | |
| Reducing scratch impact with VTA??? Agreed Gimace....The main thing is to listen and enjoy the record. Stop fussing with it after you are careful about setup, and just enjoy. | |
| Need some advice on flatening wrapped records. I have a VPI Scoutmaster with the outer ring clamp...works so well, that I don't care if a record is warped at all | |
| Unstable Imaging - Causes? I have just moved into a new house, and the very same system which sounded pretty good in my old house sounds pretty bad here. I called in an acoutic engineer who did frequency, phase shift, etc tests of my now current room, and advised many thing... | |
| SME 309 vs SME IV - sonic differences? Right Rccc I went from a V to a VPI 10.5 for the better. | |
| JMW 12.5 set up I have used the 9 Sig and the 10.5i with the VPI protractors, have checked it with the DB protractor, and it was exactly correct. | |
| Rega P2, Thorens TD-180 or Music Hall MMF-5.1? I agree Ekobesky. The 300,especially with the dropped counterweight, and rewired arm may be even better than the Robin. | |
| Speakers "pumping" with record warps - normal? I had the same problem once, and discovered it was a very low "hum" which came from the wall power. I changed power cords and it went away. | |
| What goes beneath your Nottingham? for Joe55AG...Gingko balls are not tennis balls. They are solid - not air filled, and are of a different size. The results are different- better- than tennis balls | |
| System Help ..just wondering why you specify a TUBE unit. Especially at that price point there are so many more solid state units that are worthy. |
