| Quadraphonic L P played with a 2 chan. cart. This thread brings to mind one of the first foray's into stereo I remember. It was a tonearm that became 2 arms at the cartridge end. You put in 2 monophonic cartridges and it used special records - one channel on the 1st half of the LP, and the o... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install OOPS - I forgot to tell you something else regarding the 9 Sig change to the 10.5i. The dust cover does not fit any more. If you have a Gingko dust cover it has to be cut out in the back to fit the junction box that now sticks out over the back, a... | |
| Strange phenomona this hobby. ..sure is strange. What sounds like music to one person (MBL) sounds like the arrival of the German Panzer division to another. There are no absolutes in this hobby - just nurturing ones' prejudices. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install When you exchange the 9 Sig for the 10.5i, you get a complete arm, jig, tools, etc. Its a complete package except for the side thrust gizmo (which I don't use anyway). I suggest you keep this gizmo from the 9 Sig (part of the upgrade is that you m... | |
| Is that record dead yet? For 30 dollars or so you can get a steamer which is better than a RCM | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install Do you have the 9 inch VPI arm that normally comes with the turntable? If so, there are 2 allen screws at the base of the arm...one in front and one in back. You will also notice a Knurled thumb screw that encircles the entire tonearm pillar. When... | |
| Is that record dead yet? Dont worry about looks. When choosing a wife you want someone that will please on many levels...looks evaporate. As long as the record plays through and pleases you it should be a match | |
| rhea better with high or low output MC? I had a Benz Ebony H and it is one helluva cartridge... Seriously recommended. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install VPI has a SuperGrease which should be used. It comes in what looks like a white hypodermic needle..if you didnt get it in your setup, ask VPI for some. | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced All cartridges have their personalities..I've heard lots of them. The top Benz's are more like Koetsu's because of that lucious midrange...as an added bonus, they track well, have good lows and highs, and great dynmics. The Koetus and the Benz's a... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install Do NOT tap it in...let it slide down by itself. Mine takes some time, but it will slide. | |
| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? In a word...yes Kimber silver does sound brighter than it should. I didn't like it in my system. Cables should add as little as possible and should not be used as tone controls. | |
| Vinyl Virgin seeks additional advice I agree with 2002ss335. I don't know why everyone on these discussions are fixated with Anti- Skate. I makes very little difference if any at all. | |
| educate me The better the cartridge, the better the overall sound. There is nothing in a stereo system that is an ultimate limiting factor. Every piece in the chain contributes. Even if you have Bose speakers, you will hear better sound from a better cartrid... | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly When I got my turntable, my dealer said that his turntable specialist was the best in the east. He charged me 300 dollars, and for that I expected perfection. Every parameter was "about" right, but with analogue, its got to be perfect, or it isn't... |
