| Shipping Dunlavy SC 3's Thanks, Pryso. I'm leaning more towards the moving company. They specialize in antiques as well. I'll mention the heavy gauge plastic too. | |
| Shipping Dunlavy SC 3's Thanks Mcfarland, will do. | |
| VPI 300 RPM motor clicking when starts I, too, have the same clicking sound on my Scoutmaster. At first I thought it was the belt. Concurrent with turning on the motor, I also help lesson the start-up load by giving the record platter a little twist. But I have also had the same noise ... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Great thread, String!1974-present; Pioneer PL 12-DSony PS X-7 DD; (bought on 'Gon last year. It's circa 1976 and it's in my "vintage" system).2007-present; VPI Scoutmaster. | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 "The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus", Spirit.The sonics on this LP blew away the SACD version. This band was way ahead of the curve for that era (late 60's, early 70's). You should hear what these guys did with old fashioned analogue recording an... | |
| When cantilever not parallel to cartridge sides Dear Audiofeil,In the one short year that I was able to cull together an anologue set-up, I've relied heavily on these forums. There have been plenty of helpful veterans, like yourself, whose advice I have cherished and benefitted from. I have als... | |
| VPI Headshell weight question I too had to add a headshell wieght to my JMW 9 on my Scoutmaster. I installed it on top of the headshell. Although it doesn't look the greatest, it didn't require that I screw around with tone arm height. I did have to re-check alignment, azimyth... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster is showing signs of life Glad to hear that you are finally liking what you are "hearing". I too have a Scoutmaster. When I found a Sonic Frontiers SFP1 Signature phono pre-amp for sale, I snatched it up. I had a technician replace the caps (don't know which one's he used)... | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? I have a "budget buster" set-up, with a Scoutmaster as my turntable. I don't have SDS, I don't have the periphial ring, I don't have the super platter and I don't have any measuring gadgets to analyze the sound spectrum, save for my ears. I run th... | |
| Migration to Seperates Jimmy,For 6 to 8k, I would say that the Audiogon world is your oyster! It all boils down to personal taste. And personal taste in this hobby varies widely from individual to individual.I was also a "budding" musician, and still play feverishly (bu... | |
| Migration to Seperates Jimmy,I think John pretty much highlighted the point I was making:"Judsause means, and it's also why so many audiophiles prefer separates, because separates completely isolate the components (which integrated don't do), thus providing better sonic... | |
| Migration to Seperates Jimmy, using an integrated amp behind a dedicated pre-amp is not the way to truly get an idea of how seperates will sound. Why? your nice clean signal from the pre-amp will suffer deterioration from exposing it to the workings of an integrated amp... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Dear Sirspeedy and Rauliruegas,On this subject, I would like to offer my opinion.First of all, this thread has become a grenade tossing exercise, and from two people whose words in these rooms I greatly respect. Pardon me in advance if I don't hav... | |
| Mapleshade tweaks Piedpiper asks: "Not to beat a dead horse but I'm guessing this was a matter of taste or compatibility. What specifically was your complaint?"I respond:I set up a comparison in my 2 channel system. I A,B'd the Mapleshade Golden Paralell Long Run c... | |
| Mapleshade tweaks I purchased the Clearview Golden Parallel Long-run speaker wire for a nieghbor that needed a long run but couldn't afford 1k for wire. The wire sounded terrible, even after a long break in. It would be fine for a 2nd bedroom set-up or a run to rea... |
