| Dustcover Blues anti dust cover crowd Sorry, but I was totally unaware that there was a "pro dust cover while playing the record" crowd. I've never met anyone who has done this and I can't recall ever seeing a record playing with a dust cover on. | |
| Dustcover Blues How about clear silicon caulking applied to the bottom edge of the dust cover? | |
| Dustcover Blues Well, then, maybe you can seal your dustcover in such a way that it acts like a bell jar, and evacuate any air from it before you spin up the record (don't forget the remote control cuing lever). No air, no feedback. | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. Congrats. I have Keith's VTPH-2A phono pre, and it greatly improved my vinyl playback system. I would probably have gone for the VTSP Reference if it had balanced ins/outs. | |
| Dustcover Blues You can try moving the turntable to a low bass null point in your room. Otherwise, maybe a frame with silk streched over it to keep the dust out while playing the record. ETA: Don't say nothing can pass above 2hz. Springs will vibrate at harmon... | |
| Radio frequencies picked up by phono stage. +1 shielded ICs If it is the phono pre, try grounding the chassis directly to a grounded outlet. | |

| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? What records? I don't remember any records? ;) | |
| Triplanar Users VTA @lewm I'm assuming he meant the actual numerical setting on the vta adjustment on the Tri-Planar. He didn't even mention which revision, so I was going broad. :) | |
| Triplanar Users VTA Differing platter heights and tonearm mounting heights and as @millercarbon said, cartridge variances make this question irrelevant. | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. Actually, he isn't wrong on any count. Especially when he says he thinks records sound better.I've actually advised younger people who've heard my system the same. I mean, does it really make sense to spend 10k+ on the vinyl part of your system ... | |
| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! Know just what you mean. Herron VTPH2A. Koetsu Black Goldline. SG is really gonna be so much better?? Yeah, I think so. Or else why bother? I got the table, got the arm, nice rack and all, but I never heard me one of them primo top shelf carts. S... |
