| help with RP6 setup Listen to the 2m blue for awhile and save your money. You are going to get a lot of the benefits of the 2m and can get a good sense of how the rest of your system is going to integrate. You might get more impact out of a good matching set of inter... | |
| VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison As far as "belt chatter" goes don't most of us give a little assist to our platter so as not to stretch belt and otherwise soften the blow of the initial power? I know I have always assisted my platter (esp. heavy plinths) before powerering up.Is ... | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp @Invenio78-I have taken the PV-10 out of the loop and I am going to clean up under the hood and lube the controls. De-Oxit the tube contacts, etc and see if that helps. I had no idea you could buy a new PV-10, that could be a good option. I love t... | |
| Good bookshelf speaker? Seriously folks, you owe it to yourself to get your ears up to a pair of KEF LS50, simply exceptional. It's hard to believe the sound comes from such minimal enclosures. I can't wait to listen to my VPI Traveler passing to these lovelies. I have t... | |
| VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison I have had a Traveler V1 since last Dec and been smitten ever since, so take that into account. I have no experience with V2 but I am not sure what a wall wart brings to the table when there were no problems with V1. (I am aware of the few tonearm... | |
| Amplifier input voltage range Could you be more specific, re: what kind of signal are you trying to amplify? | |
| HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE So, was it the Rega? If so, are you enjoying it? I would be interested in what your thoughts are. | |

| Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China Made? Depends on what the meaning of 'made' is. Well 95% of the Traveler parts come from China, but it is assembled in Cliffwood. So, does that qualify to say 'made' in the USA? I understood that VPI machined their tonearms and fittings in NJ. Wha... | |
| new cart 600.00 and under Ortofon 2m Black is nice with the VPI JMW9 if that is the arm on the Scout. | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Thanks for all the good ideas. I have to admit that after initial set-up I only change vta when something doesn't sound right. The arm on the Traveler is very easy to adjust on the fly but I never seem to change unless something is wrong. I listen... | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Brf-How does this paradigm deal with the different thickness of records? Within each record the stylus will rise and drop, how should we account for this change in sra?We will never agree on a solution until we agree on what the target is. More co... | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Actusreus-You said in op "silly question", I want to agree with you.You asked "how to detirmine conclusively if arm is parallel" VTA is a "moving target" that changes everytime you change records.So, it can't be detirmined conclusively.Therefore, ... | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Every cartridge I have requires a different vta to sound best and, as Raul mentioned, records are all different in thickness which changes the vta. Dougdeacon is the only other post that makes any sense to me because first, most tables are not 'de... | |
| What's my next evolution in the analog venture? I recently switched out turntables from a KAB modded Technics 1200 mk2 to a new VPI Traveler with Ortofon 2m Blk. The difference is not subtle and I now find myself playing more records than ever. It is more revealing but it's the music that is be... |
