| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 Correct. Saw some posts saying the MM stage was average. That most of the effort went into the MC and phono enhancer which are designed for LOMC. While doing research came across this view several times on pink fish media. Several of the professio... | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help Just and update. When I used the VPI Jig and 10x LED Lighted loupe I found I was sitting just behind the null point maybe even touching the back edge a tad. I re-aligned the cartridge to be dead on and the shrill in the treble is now gone. Still w... | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help The grado/project didn't have the edge blue has. I did like the grado so maybe I should go up the line for grado. I really don't want to spend more 450.on cart.Mainly because I do listen to used vinyl and it seems to make sense to get a used tube ... | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help Sadly my system is made up of uncommon components. This creates a problem in gathering informed advice. Especially because I am a newbie.The phono stage is the one in my pre-amp which is an Exposure XVII/17. It's got the MM board only and by all a... | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help I will definitely try lowering VTA. I also am buying a mint jig to be more exact for future carts.I do think it's a great cart. I think it's my personnel taste lean to the warm side. I also think it's a system mismatch.The table is great. I pretty... | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help I also setup the cart myself. First time. I think it's done right. But I could be wrong. | |
| Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help Thanks for response. The blue came with the TT and was said to have low hours. So who really knows. I definitely believe in break in.From what I read some people do think it's a tad bright and forward. Sadly if that's true it's a bad match for my ... | |
| Hum from VPI Scout Stock Motor Could you describe the improvements you gained with the upgraded motor? Thanks | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout Thanks for the tip. I don't think the video is on there but I did find some of him setting up tables which greatly helped. This plus some of the other sites have given me some confidence. Plus I have learned so much about turntable design and diff... | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout Thanks MoFi but I don't live near you. Love CO though.I appreciate the explanation and link Photon46. | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout ChayroI didn't buy the table from him. He does not carry VPI. He is the kind of guy who will tell you anything he does not sell is not good. Plus a lot of other issues. I just don't think he has an interest to do it right. | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout Zd542The link you posted states"Overhang and offset angle adjustment must be performed with the aid of a precision mechanical instrument."What do you suggest I use for this? | |
| First Table Setup: Org. VPI Scout Thanks I am reading through the link you provided in my last thread. | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? Thanks for the linkThe owner of the HW-19 Jr. Will ship if I pay for shipping and professional packaging. Plus he wants me to take full responsibility for damaging shipping.I am thinking the shipping was already going to be at my expense for me. I... | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? Thanks for the advice. I always wanted to learn how to set up a TT. I have watched Traveler setup videos on you tube. I guess I should jump in and do it myself.I just need the right VPI table to come up. I Really want to spend 1300 on cart and table. |
