WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX
I have had enough things destroyed by UPS that them and USPS will never get my business, FedEx is the only shipper I use and have never had an issue.  
Jadis Orch pretubes 12AX7A, upgrade advice...

Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm
Yeah the heashell is thicker and the tube itself seems just a tad beefier, I say that because it is a very firm fit when I slip it into the arm rest. Just set the ZYX Universe up in the 3D arm and my Dynavector DRT XV1S in the stainless steel Clas...

Just received my new arm from VPI and it is quite a bit thicker at the headshell portion of the arm, the counter weight stem is also without any groves and flat spots that the original arm had. Have not mounted a cart on it yet because the Soundsm...

Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm
You know Dover you are absolutely right, that is a possibility but I was on top of it and the system is so resolved that it was detectable by ear as the cart would lose it's adjustment. Both the carts used with the bad arm have been dialed in and ... 
Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm
Yeah I am of the same mind, don't rock the boat an all, they have already said they will be sending me a new one and that they are going to cut into the damaged arm to test and diagnose. Do bear in mind I have been working with them since 9/2015 o...
