May 16, 2005	Belt slipping off Scout Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. The motor is at about the same height as the plinth, however now that I look at I can see that the motor wasn't perfectly level; maybe that was the problem.
May 16, 2005	Belt slipping off Scout You mean the top of the pulley?
Nov 18, 2004	Clearaudio Champion L2 vs. VPI I'm not an expert but the L2 is has a much more massive platter than the Scout, which has got to be a plus. Take that for what it's worth.
Nov 07, 2004	Best commercial press for flattening warped LP's Why not look at a used dry mount press for flatting prints. It would be considerably less expensive. I haven't tried it myself but it's worth looking into.
Oct 06, 2004	What's Wrong With My Cartridge/Setup? I would reccomend you have a local dealer set it up for you, that way you know for sure it's setup correctly. I had a really hard time myself. Others will be able to help you more I'm sure.Good Luck

Sep 20, 2004	vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust We'll I've got my dehumidifier going, turned out it was about 75% in my listing room. I guess that's what did it.
Sep 16, 2004	VPI Scout Motor Questions We'll I don't have a p300, however I didn't notice the vibrations your talking about. I would just do what everyone else seems to be doing which is upgrade to the Teres motor.
Sep 14, 2004	vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust I guess they say iron rusts and aluminum oxidizes. It's all the same to me.
Sep 14, 2004	vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust They refinished it at no cost.
Sep 13, 2004	VPI Motor Upgrade Kit Thanks, DougdeaconSounds like a really great design!
Sep 11, 2004	vpi jmw tonarm rust yes rust According to VPI it wasn't rust, it was oxidation of the aluminum caused by something foreign on it.
Sep 05, 2004	VPI Motor Upgrade Kit Don't know about that, but I did read in the current Stereophile that they will be including a real antiskate mechanism sometime in the future.
Sep 05, 2004	Know of a book on audio basics? I have the Master Handbook of Acoustics and while it is very good it is extremley complex. I would highly reccomend The Complete Guide to High End Audio.
Sep 04, 2004	VPI Phono Cable It say's on the instructions that you can run a "line level" signal throught the cable and break it in faster. Haven't tried it myself.
