| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Autopsec, let me see if I have this right. You went out a bought a lathe and are going to machine your own because you don't want to or have time to sign into a website like Bob's Devices? | |
| Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua Here is SS cartridge warrantee and rebuild/retip statement:"Our Cartridges are guaranteed for one or two years, with the exception of the Hyperion and Helios, which are covered for a full 10 years, including free retipping (!!) to the original own... | |
| Cartridge help: Ortofon Cadenza vs. Soundsmith Paua One additional thing I would consider is repair/rebuild costs. Lyra has a pretty tough repair price structure as has been discussed here a while ago. That policy led me to look at Ortofon and SoundSmith. Peter has fixed his repair costs at what... | |
| VPI TNT Turntables I think we have gotten far afield of helping the OP with his decision or search. | |
| VPI TNT Turntables I have what I call a 3.5 model. Heavy platter, squash balls from bladders from springs, SME-V, no flywheel and a SDS. I keep the tripod set-up as I believe it evens out bearing wear. The sound is weighty and full but not ponderous as some report. ... | |
| Newb question regarding alignment - Should the stylus Physically touch the protractor? Best thing I have done when printing out a protractor is to print them on transparency film ( like for the old overhead projectors ) then I tape them to a light colored album such as the gold colored Grand Funk album. $3.00 at any used record sto... | |
| Linear arm recommendations Another vote for the Trans-fi Terminator! | |
| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? @Slaw. I care about the opinions in totality and in general. I don’t place much stock in the "recommend me a phono stage, cartridge etc." type posts because they are usually just recommended by a sample of one or so. The "blah, blah, blah" sounds ... | |
| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? @Slaw. Do you think anyone cares? This is a serious question. Possibly it is is time to let it go. We are all able to judge the worthiness of someone's posts. We don't need someone who obviously carries a grudge against another member continui... | |
| Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV? Aww, another internet spat. You guys are so cute. Would you two be so kind as to get a room? | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith Inna very nice. WTF did your post add to the discussion? It is merely antagonistic. Some people do develop relationships on these forums. Leave them alone bully. We now have another expert who is withdrawing his or her expertise. Maybe YOU know... | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith Very thoughtful words Peter. | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith I too think SS deserves his sacred cow status. He more frequently than not goes the extra mile when it comes to his business practices. He once repaired a Blackbird for me for free, nada, nothing! Turn around time was a weekish. Return time for yo... | |
| 6SN7 tube question I would also check out Brent Jesse as a tube source. He is honest and prices his stuff reasonably. Has a whole section on the 6SN7 and variants. He usually carries a Baldwin labeled tube which looks and sounds identical to the much more expensi... | |
| TTW turntables Good luck, and I mean that! He was one snarky angry sounding guy towards the end there. Defensive and belligerent could be added to that description as well. |
