| TT Noob questions I can't speak for thr master, Harry Weisfield, and possible he might even chime in to concur with my thoughts, but I'm largely under the impression Harry designed the Heavy Centerweight to work in conjunction with the Periphery Weight Ring. Of cou... | |
| Looking for ACCURATE SPEED turntable/tonearm combo I, like you at one time, was a disser of Direct Drive Turntables. I still have some skeptisism towards Tables like the new Technics.But, I have to admit, for the money, you'll be hard pressed finding anything to compare in thr Belt Drive arena, es... | |
| VPI RCM Vacuum Wand Velvet Strips Hmm, some interesting responses.As I've been informed by the highly knowledgeable here, but won't diclose thier name, it appears one is SOL in acquiring the exact same material-peel+stick adhesive as VPI uses.If a material, such as Mo-Fi Replaceme... | |
| VPI RCM Vacuum Wand Velvet Strips Thanks Kurt for your reply.You gotta figure, at $18.50, why such a ridiculously high price for these?! Even silk from the orient wouldn't be so expensive.I'll hopefully soon find the right source to this correct peel, and stick material, and will ... | |
| SACD News Emerson Lake & Palmer I have to kindly disagree about the Mo-Fi Trilogy, and Tarkus being mediocre. Both I have are low number limited edition Anadisc 200's, and both sound mighty fine to me! What releases you have heard, I have no idea.I have all the ELP originals, th... | |
| Scoutmaster runs very slow Things to check, would be the Platter first. Have you ever re-lubed the Platter Bearing? Removing Belt, and rotating, can you feel any drag?Belt Slippage. When was the last time you replaced the Belt? Try cleaning the Belt, and Platter.Try pluggin... | |
| Spraying the platter I'm sure all will concur here, not a very good idea at all. I can understand aesthetics-cosmetics, and a table "looking" nice, as most of us want our rigs to bear a personal reflection of us, just like many like personalizing thier vehicles.Firstl... | |
| SACD News Emerson Lake & Palmer I seen that tour myself, at the long gone Ampitheather in Chicago. I was able to smuggle in a pair of Binoculars, Carl Palmer was just a blur. Never seen so many JBL Speakers in my life. My Mac-JBL System sounded like a little transitor radio for ... | |
| Mint Tractor Yikes!Then I imagine one should remember to excersize extreme care when installing, and removing the mintlp protractor on Spindle?No lifting by the edges, no bending-flexing, remembering to lift the entire protractor straight up.I informed Yip my ... | |
| Mint Tractor Well, I just ordered thr mintlp protractor as well, figured I might as well get on the band wagon with the rest of you fellas! lol I'll try posting my results as well when it comes.Just a question I have, is this protractor indeed an actual glass ... | |
| cartridge alignment? Firstly, it would help knowing what Table-Arm, and what geometry is suiatble before making any solid recommendations to you.Most Japanese vintage Tables will more than likely be better suited with Stevenson Null Geometry. Although some do like, an... | |
| Cartridge Recomendations for VPI HK-19 MK IV w/Gra I was browsing over at the asylum earlier, seen you had posed the same question there, and the one recommendation at this point, was for the Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge.I never owned-heard one, so I certainly cannot give a personal viewpoint eith... | |
| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? Ferarri, Some have said the Foam Noodle Toys that you can get from a swimming pool store work, but I do know the stock MK-IV, with metal sub-chassis, and Platter are a lot of weight to support.Some have used Carbon Fiber Pucks from somebody like B... | |
| Cartridge Recomendations for VPI HK-19 MK IV w/Gra Hello All/Rushton,Makes sense what you say that any Grado "shouldn't hum, but doing a search the other day about "VPI Hum" on the asylum, I pulled up quite a few numerous posts about Grados humming with HW-19 Tables. Odd, I know. I'm sort of doubt... | |
| Mistracking zyx after hibernating? Got a Cardas Sweep, and Burn LP?Run the burn in tracks for maybe 15 minutes a track, and then more importantly, run the Demag sweeps.Thos should clear the cobwebs. Mark |
