| 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... | |
| Vandersteen 5A biwire shotgun absolutely required? Do it right for heavens sake. Presumably, your amps are in between the 2 speakers so that you have short speaker cables and long interconnect. That is what Vandersteen recommends and that is what works best. Bi-wire must have 4 seperate wires to e... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs. B&W 802D vs. Maggie 3.6 vs.? I dumped my 802D's and got the 5A's. The Vandys are much more musical, have greater air, depth, clarity, etc.etc. There is no comparison. The 802's were stodgy in comparison. You should have all the ancillaries in place, or any speaker will not wo... | |
| What's the limit for cart upgrade/VPI Scout? My experience is that the cartridge makes the most significant upgrade in sound. I had a Grado Sonata which was brown in color with fuzzy sound, had respectable width, but not much depth. When I changed to a Benz it was a revelation. | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly No its not the same as VTA. Overhanng adjustment proceeds as follows: A good idea is to put some tape on the turntable platter so that it will not move when tinkering with this. With your arm you should have received a gizmo that looks like a grap... | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly I don't think its anti-skate.. I'm using NO anti-skate at all and it sounds good. I really think its tracking too light,or overhang is wrong. If you're checking with a digital scale, dump it and use a cheap Sure. | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Please be more specific about the adjusting screw for damping. I find no mention of it in the instruction manual, and don't see one one my arm, although mine in a 10.5i which very well may be different | |
| Cartridge & phono stage for VPI Scoutmaster setup? You might try the Benz ACE higher output ones. I heard one that was very nice indeed. I know that VpI arms like most cartridges and bring out the best in them. Dont be afraid of its "tippy' nature. When you get used to it, it wont be an issue at all. | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? I asked Mapleshade about this very question and am posting the very interesting answerDear Stanley,Walker's Talisman, like all demagnetizing devices (i.e. Bedini, Furutech, etc.), attempts to address the same problem as our Ionoclast, that is, the... | |
| BURMESTER B99 OR VANDERTEEN 5A'S Burmester is heavier..other then that the Vandys have it all | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? I agree with Rushton, however, I still don't think its magnetism, but static electricity that we're eliminating. |
