| Using the VPI threaded clamp and azimuth change RE"Using an angle protractor only assumes that the diamond is "perfectly" aligned on the cantilever."I set mine the way that Harry instructs, the only thing that I add is a quantitative factor, that is a measurement, which is both repeatable and r... | |
| Using the VPI threaded clamp and azimuth change It doesn't change the azimuth at all. I actually set my azimuth with the threaded clamp, washer and an angle protractor.M~ | |
| VPI Classic Azimuth Seems to Change -- Normal?? BifwynneAs stated I set my azimuth with an angle protractor ($3.00) which gives me a repeatable and measurable point of reference. Like you I also don't use my antiskate on my Classic.BTW, the hum is "FIXED" I can use any cartridge, Grado's, etc w... | |
| VPI Classic Azimuth Seems to Change -- Normal?? Interesting, as was stated above did you twist the wire slightly to set the anti skating? Also, what did you use to measure the azimuth? I use an angle protractor to measure the distance from the bottom of the record to the azimuth rod (on both si... | |
| VPI Classic hum NPI'm working with my dealer on this. I know that we'll get it figured out. It may just my setup, I use my Classic to record cassette tapes. My setup CJ PV5, MF2500A Vandy 3A sigs, Nak CR7A, Dragon, Revox B-215, not the greatest but it allows me t... | |
| VPI Classic hum IMHO, the hum is a mechanical hum, and is the result of the motor vibrations being transferred through the plinth. If you take the motor out. You can turn it on and off all day with no hum whatsoever. This was verified by using the tape monitor an... | |
| VPI Classic hum The heck with this, I give up. I'm doing what you guys did. The hum still comes through on my tapes. So it's either a Soundsmith or a DV20XH. | |
| VPI Classic hum Vibration, which is picked by the stylus and transmitted through the phono section. If you remove the motor from its mount the hum (resonance) goes away. My motor vibrated a lot compared to the other motors that we checked. We had gotten it to the... | |
| VPI Classic hum 96% of the hum is gone. No hum at all just listening to records through the phono section. I still get some (albeit at a very low tolerable level through my headphone jack) Cost $140.00 for a new motor. I'm still in the process of listening to a v... | |
| VPI Classic hum The motor and I know that it's a "duh." But I will elaborate more after my parts are in. I would "highly" recommend that anyone who has this problem to work with VPI and the dealer to resolve it. Once my table is finished, we'll be certain of the ... | |
| VPI Classic hum Found the source of the problem. New parts are on the way and will be installed tomorrow. | |
| VPI Classic hum One way or the other, I'm going to resolve this today. I'm taking the table back with my preamp and cassette deck and going through the trouble shooting process with my bud. What I've found is that if I disconnect the belt from the motor (let it w... | |
| VPI Classic hum I never a problem until I had the bright idea to detoix my Goldring GL2500. The result was a nightmare and I ended up klutzing the stylus.After that I made some interconnect changes and from there I got on the cartridge merry go round to try to so... | |
| VPI Classic hum StringreenI have a CJ PV5 which doesn't have a balance mode. The last time that I turned my volume up to check for hum and noise, I blew out one of the drivers in my Vandersteens. It cost me $950.00 for that experience. As a result I would be hesi... | |
| VPI Classic hum The dealer who BTW is a great guy, immediately started working on the table as soon as I brought it in, he and I did all of the listening through headphones and after trying various things and talking to the guys at VPI, Bruce narrowed it down to ... |
