| Any rock fans out there? Yes nice touch at the end of the album, yes nice touch at the end! | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter I have the classic 3 smooth side. I didn't even know there was a groove sided platter until I read this thread and looked on the VPI Facebook pics. I also didn't know about the ceramic platter. Which product is the ceramic platter going on? Is it ... | |
| Any rock fans out there? I have first UK pressings Vertigo of Self Titled, Master of Reality, Vol 4, and Bloody WWA first UK pressing, and the sound quality of 13 definitely is right up there with them. If you like the music, I can't imagine you will be disappointed with ... | |
| Any rock fans out there? Actusreus,If you like the music,you will not be disappointed with the pressing or sound quality, price is also very reasonable, relative nowadays. Pull the trigger. | |
| Sleeper Debut Lps...70s classic rock 1970 Nick Drake Pink Moon. The reissue box set by Island/Universal is fantastic. Analog planet, Fremer did a review on it. Sound quality on that LP from analog tapes really hits benchmark quality. | |
| pink floyd division bell lp In 1994 I was at the record store and had the choice of black vinyl or blue vinyl for $10 more. I purchased the blue vinyl. It sounds very, very good, quality recording, quality vinyl. Unfortunately I can't answer your question because I haven't h... | |

| VPI Classic tweak The belts will be binding, one belt will try and turn the platter faster in each rotation than the other. Therefore one will have to slip. The belt with the most torque will probably win. Hard for me to visualize how this could be an improvement i... | |
| VPI Classic tweak I believe the position on the platter is irrelevant, the platter is machined to the same diameter up and down its sides. I believe the pulley is machined intentionally with a larger diameter on each groove progressively to accommodate those enthus... | |
| VPI Classic tweak How else could the speed be different? The pulley is machined to a different diameter at each of the pulley positions. | |
| VPI Classic tweak The actual diameter of each position is different. It allows enthusiasts without a SDS to dial in the speed as close as possible to 33 or 44. Check it out with the friekert app and test disk. It gets faster in one direction and slower in the other... | |
| VPI Classic tweak VPI does that for enthusiasts like me that don't have SDS,and no control over AC frequency, so we can obtain correct speed by changing belt position on the pulley, to go faster or slower. | |
| VPI Classic tweak I don't agree. Check it with the friekert app and test disk, each position is a different diameter resulting in a different platter speed. Whether you use a SDS or not, the 2 belts will be spinning at 2 different speeds. | |
| VPI Classic tweak No different with the SDS, different pulley positions are different diameters and will yield different speeds. You can verify it with the friekert app and test disc. The different pulley positions are for those that don't have the SDS to get as cl... |
