| Why vinyl? Ihcho, I buy a lot of new vinyl, as much of it in my opinion is very good. I also buy good old unopened vinyl, and mint used. I find life is to short for crappy beatup vinyl to experiment. Are people buying new vinyl, if you read my post early on ... | |
| Why vinyl? While I know much specialty vinyl is 25-50 bucks, don't forget Sundazed for instance, at 15-18 bucks for good sounding vinyl, also the last Van Morrison, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan were super cheap for the quality of the vinyl I got. Seems like ... | |
| Why vinyl? Well, I question myself all the time after getting back into vinyl 2 years ago. Should I dump the Lp's and table, and just get some kind of higher end SACD/Cd player, as I have a bunch of both.Then as the other day, I do a self test. Recently it w... | |
| VPI Scout vs. HW 19 There are opinions both ways. My 19 has a Scout platter and a SAMA Motor. I am playing with some options, actually have the stuff here to do it with, changing the plint to a steel/corian mixture. I think you certainly can play around more with a 1... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Not to mention it was a joke, but basically a 1400 is a plinth in the air on 3 posts, that was all I was saying, in refernce to what opal was doing. It was almost like you were wanting to discuss the superiority of the Basis 1400, and if that is t... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Frank, if you take away the base, you would have a Basis 1400 !!! Which is just a plinth sitting an 3 posts !! That would be a Basis HW-19.Where did you finally get the noodles, and how big around were they ? Mike at VPI told me about them a year ... | |
| Audioquest PT Arm Damping Fluid Mark, another good answer from Pryso. Jelso has just released a new tone arm they are selling as a jelso with some new features, with damping. So they maybe able to tell you viscosity. I have emailed them and gotten a response about the new 750D arm. | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones I would think that the noodles between the base and plinth(where the pucks and springs are) gives you more isolation, as it is another layer of isolation. I would think then the base has some isolation from what it is sitting on via cones or the l... | |
| Audioquest PT Arm Damping Fluid Hey Mark how you doing I thought you know longer had the Audioquest last time we emailed ? Anyhow, I called Audioquest and they sent me a small tube for nothing, though I don't know if they still will since they no longer sell the arm. It would be... | |
| Tonearm conclusions keep coming up Rega ??????? Thanks for the info so far. But does anybody buy VPI JMW 9 arms outright and install them on other brand tables, as I never see that ? I know the "9" will fit the HW-19, but not sure of what else it will fit to be used at a later date on another b... | |
| Anyone using Ortofon AS-309-S arm? Hello, any idea what the selling price is on this arm? I have not seen them anywhere. | |
| Built-in phono stages My Mac preamp has a built in MM section. It works for me, though I have not tried anything else for awhile. But I am looking to see what else would be better. Everything I have read is that the mac phono sections are pretty decent. | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Ok, I knew there had to be some official name, but for us plain folks, can we call them noodles ?? What color did you pick ? Seriously, the only question I had is how to accurately cut them each to the exact length ? | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Mike at VPI told me the same thing about the "noodles" They are not styrofoam, but are of a cell type nature, I just don't know what the material is. You can buy Sorbothane, but at he thickness needed it gets pretty expensive. You will see why som... | |
| Help with VPI Mk 19 Jr. Hello, the Jr acrylic platter, like the Scout and many other VPI platters is not meant for a mat, kind of defeats the purpose of the platter. You do have the white platter ??Like said, go to the Audioquest site, and find the PT-9 instructions. Aud... |
