| Has anybody heard this newer brand of turntable? Shineola Runwell out of Detroit, MI USA? I've heard it but only in the Detroit store during a busy Sunday before Christmas. Sounded fine and looks nice. No critical listening was done. I dislike the hipster crowd down there as they have completely displaced the native Detroiters. But... | |
| Cartridge repair; re-tipping; canitlever replacement: The Needle Clinic A++ I've had great service from both SS and the ND. Love SS for all he has done for the industry and recordings in general. | |
| Avid Acutus Record Clamp leaving marked "ring" on record label My friends Acutus TT does not leave a mark. He is very fastidious about his records and I'm sure his labels are pristine. Is the mark a dent or a trace of a residue? Either there is something on the clamp's face or you are tightening it too tight. | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement I guess I forgot the use of a simple tap to cut new threads. Seems the tennis balls are way to big to fit into the cavity. You want the towers to sit ON the tennis balls? | |
| VPI TNT Bladder replacement I converted mine to the ball suspension. I placed a cork/plastic disc cork side against the ball into the cavity first so an allen head set-screw could be run down to adjust height. Then I used squash balls which while too small works fine once ... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? Mistakes do happen. I listed 2 pairs of cables for what I thought was $100.00 each pair but my wording was poor and I realized I had listed the 2 pairs for the 100.00. Buyer was smart enough to realize what I meant and I would have sold him both... | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair? I know of SouthSmith, Van D Hul, and Andy Kim. I just not Axel. Thanks for the snappy answer though. | |

| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Just a side note here (hear). Audible Illusion preamps are very hard on the tubes according to more than one source. A good friend has one and he replaces the tubes frequently. He also uses the ruggedest tubes he can find as the pre is not very... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? The K&K Maxxed-Out phono-stage will fit the bill nicely. Designed to use cheap Russian tubes (fancy ones detract from the sound), utilizes step-up transformers as part of the design. Has mute and reverse polarity switch. Can handle lowest o... | |
| Help me choosing Phono Preamp Agree with the K&K. There are two models, the Maxxed-out and Trio. The Trio is available in kit form if desired. Both are designed around SUTs and therefore can handle the lowest of output MCs. No extra interconnects needed. Both utilize two i... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Harry seems sharp as a tack from his posts on the VPI forum. He posts there regularly. His son Matt also posts and answers questions multiple times a week. Marc, seems to be a technician at VPI, and is always answering questions as well as givi... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? ^ Did you ask remind Bes that you have had no answer? Not saying you "should" have to but a follow up reminder to the dealer may have benefited you. | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Bob posted his phone number. No interweb needed. Glad the 6 foot lathe was less of a bother than the telephone or a couple of website clicks. You have to forgive me for being a bit skeptical of your story. I'd rather buy a 6' metal working lat... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? I guess Autospec has been busy at his lathe or grew tired of us. |
