| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Agreed. My Terminator is playing right now with 0.09 psi showing on the electronic pressure gauge installed inline. Working perfectly. I don't know about the need for a higher pressure or flow pump than the Rena 400 I am using. I do have each of t... | |
| Alternative for VPI springs? Herbie's also makes a turntable specific "isoball and cup" unit. I'd contact them if the Sims thing falls through or for those in the same situation. I think Herbies has a no hassle return policy too. Here is the link to the webpage.http://herbies... | |
| FYI: VPI HW-19 motors Agree wholeheartedly with the Sims Navcom Silencers. I kept the lower aluminum band on and then threaded them onto the studs I screwed into the stock spring perches. Sounds far better than either the springs or the sorbothane! | |
| VPI SDS 45 RPM malfunction It is easy to set the voltage drop. Just read the manual, 72 volts is too low to reliably run 45 RPM on my SDS as well. Try a higher setting , it worked well for me. | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... To add to my hurried response yesterday. Placing a record on the platter requires a bit of fineness as the arm structure remains over the platter. Not difficult, but you do need to exercise some caution. An air pump in another room is needed as I'... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Can't say enough good things about this tonearm. It is a little tricky adjusting it as mentioned but we'll worth it! | |
| VPI SDS exact speed in .... 40 minutes? I respectfully disagree with bpaudio. Well type bearings such as comes with those older platters neee oil not grease. I have tried white lube in my TNT and it took forever to achieve a stanle correct speed. Inverded bearings need grease to prevent... | |
| Speed Control You can also place it under a clear record album and play on top of it. Lucinda Williams' West and Blessed are both clear enough for this trick. I did not notice any difference in speed with needle in or out of groove. | |
| Next step up from Sumiko Blue Point 2 I have two Blackbirds and a listening buddy with one. Universally liked by all who listen. Very forgiving about SRA/VTA. Smooth and silky where the Bp is harsh and spitty. Works well on my TNT/SME-V as well as my HW-19/Terminator T-3. Not quite th... | |
| VPI Inverted Bearing , Ball Bearing on the shaft ? I've dealt with this before and the consensus is that the ball is loose. The shaft is rougher than the bearing surface meaning that the ball is held still while the bearing surface rotates. | |
| gloves to touch vinyl surface Amazon sells cheap cotton gloves used for stuff like photography . I by them by the dozens. You can wash them a number of times before they fall apart.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004THMZJE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |
| Sumiko Blackbird Soundsmith Rebuild Level? That is good to know Peter! | |
| Sumiko Blackbird Soundsmith Rebuild Level? That is a tough one as the original has an elliptical stylus mounted on a boron cantilever. The SS ones are mounted on ruby and the $250 & $350 ones are line contact of one sort or another. Good stuff I'm sure but may sound different than stoc... | |
| VPI PLC question I was considering but Mike from VPI said it wasnt worth much. I did purchase a Music Hall unit for about $300.00 thst made a nice improvement in my HW-19. Claimed that it works up to 2 watts snd the vpi is 3 watt draw. Mr Hall said it would work f... | |
| Right angle IEC power cable There is a Wattgate part that you use with their regular IEC part to do what you want. I use them on a couple of mono blocks that are a little big for the shelf they sit on to allow them to be pushed back an inch or so. Defiantly a DIY thing. Take... |
