| Balanced Cables A circuit is designed either balanced or unbalanced but most can accomodate the other. A circuit will always sound the best running it the way it was designed...that is a balanced design will work best balanced, and a single ended design will work... | |
| Protractor for VPI Aries-3 with JMW10.5i arm You will see that the VPI is quite enough. I also have the DB protractor, and after checking with Harry, he said that I could use that one too. It was exactly the same with them both. | |
| Cartridge mounting The most dangerous part is getting the wires attached. I get the wires on first and then mount it in the tonearm. Always push the cartridge on to the wire. If you push the wire on to the cartridge, your hand just might slip and you will tear the w... | |
| VPI TT - Scoutmaster, Aries or TNT-Jr? I pretty much agree with Tiger, however, if you don't have all the money for the big outlay, the Superscout can accomodate future upgrades. ..the big one is the rim drive...really makes a difference. | |
| Damping fluid for Audioquest pt-6 I am using a VPI 10.5i with a Benz Ebony cartridge, so what I tell you is good only for this installation and may or may not work for you. I find that just a bit of damping improves the cartridge by making it more transparent with improved depth, ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Thanks Raul. Actually, I had a sound engineer come up. He did a frequency response check of the room which included reflections, and phasing. He suggested putting a soft island suspended from the ceiling the whole room through. Although the room i... | |
| 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 |
