| Low Cost Turntable I would personally choose the Rega. But they're all good machines. The Rega has a better tonearm than the MMF or Technics. Also, the MMF might come with a cartridge already mounted. If you already have a cartridge, you might not want to pay for an... | |
| VPI Aries 3 Has Arrived Ditto on the SDS. Once you have it, you can't imagine yourself without it.Cheers. | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better I don't use a platform of any kind. My stand is a Billy Bags audio rack. Welded, single piece construction, and rock solid. I have tried some felt, and some furniture slides under the motor. Both help, but they don't come close to the speed stabil... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Good idea. I think I'll try that. I'm not really feeling like spending $300 for the mini-feet just so I can gain the extra height. After about 4 days of running the rim drive 5 to 6 hours a day, I see very little improvement in speed stability. If... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Without the foam rings, the net difference in height between the cones and mini-feet is 1/8 inch. That's still not enough clearance to use my outer ring clamp. Do the mini feet have height adjustment? If so, how is it done? Cheers.Tom | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better My cone feet are 1 1/2 inches tall. I'm not counting the foam rings placed in between the feet and the underside of the plinth, which add another quarter inch. The extra 3/8 inches of height provided by the mini-feet will probably be enough for me... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Mike, Actually, I don't think the rim drive in its current form could be used with the Aries 3. The Aries 3 plinth has a cut-out where the motor is placed. The dual-motor flywheel is a long, rectangular motor that is able to be used with the HRX, ... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Hi Mike, Yes, the instruction sheet tells you how to cut the wires. You have to do this because you must reverse the direction of the motors. The rim drive needs to run counter-clockwise so that the platter will spin clockwise. Yes, it does confli... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Yeah, I may have to get the mini-feet. I'm still running the motor without a record playing to try to get the belt to "seat", but so far it hasn't really budged. I can actually feel the motor assembly rocking back and forth as the slightly thicker... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better I use the standard Scoutmaster feet. (My original table was a standard Scoutmaster which has been upgraded piece by piece to SuperScoutmaster).Thanks.Tom | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better I finally got my rim drive yesterday. I hooked it up, and tried it out. Right now, I have 2 problems: 1) Speed stability. The KAB speedstrobe shows that the table is not running smoothly. Just by visual inspection I can tell that this speed instab... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better I ordered my rim drive in February and still don't have it! Who do you know? Can't wait to try all this stuff...Tom | |
| Best vinyl version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" I've never heard an issue, CD or LP, of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" that sounded particularly good. Always baffled me, since "Bookends" and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, & Thyme" (earlier records) sounded so great. I noticed the same thing with T... | |
| best artists in the last 15 years I second Wilco. I also really dig the Shins. | |
| How can you tell if noise is dirt or static? Play the song twice. Odds are a static charge won't release at the exact same spot twice. If it happens in the same spot again, it's dirt.Cheers. |
