| Anyone ever Mod a Sunfire Sub? It's a Sunfire True Sub MK-IV. As for Schematics, I know of no one who has them available? Mark | |
| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? I've run a similar gauntlet of upgrades with my own HW-19 as well, going from Jr to MK-IV Platter, using the SDS, Sutherland PhD Phono, Audiopoint Cone Feet.Like you, I haven't gone the SAMA, but do have the SDS.One thing you'll never achieve, not... | |
| Anyone muffel a VPI 16.5 The best fix for a VPI 16.5 would be to get the vacuum out of the machine all together, isolate it as far away from the machine as you could get it.There might be a possible way to do this, where you are connecting to the Arm Wand from underneath,... | |
| Anyone muffel a VPI 16.5 Added insulation, like the guys put inside thier car doors-panels might be an idea? Something that would be asily cuttable with a utility shears, and peel, and stick would be the way to go. Provided you're not covering the very small slotted vents... | |
| Difference between a VPI HW19 MkII & MKIII Tought to say what VPI did over the years. Peobably from '96 on, there were no differences in the wood base. You had maybe 3, or four choices, natual oak, or walnut dark stain, black, or piano black finish.As for Platters, and Bearings, again a to... | |
| scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5 I also do exactly as cincy_bob does. This seems to work best. With all LPs, regardless if filthy, or new, dust=grime will begin to accumilate on the Arm Wand Velvet. Remove after a few LPs, brush clean with a soft toothbrush, rinse with Distilled ... | |
| Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help? I tend to believe that Jim (and perhaps partly Paul) designed AVIS, just like Lloyd Walker designed his cleaners to be used in a certain succesion.That the following step compliments the preceeding step. Jim P. has verbally enforced these beliefs ... | |
| How good or bad is a Mac C-39 phono stage? I once owned a C-38 Pre-Amp, and the Phono Stage was decent for a good MM Cartridge.Being candid about what they throw in, McIntosh won't ever throw in garbage. But in truth, how much money you figure they invested in parts into a Phono Stage? May... | |
| Benz Glider High Output good upgrade from Aurum Be To respond again to you infotrad, I onwed an original Benz Glider for at least a good ten years. Yes it was a good Cartridge, and when I switched from the MacCormack Micro Phono Drive ($750 list) to the Sutherland PhD ($3,000 list) there was a ver... | |
| Benz Glider High Output good upgrade from Aurum Be If buying new, the new Glider is pushing $1,000 list.Of course there's usually some discounting, and also some trade value. Even a dead junker is worth a believe an additional $100.If I'm not mistaken, Clearaudio as well had some trade program for... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? You know something Doug, you are as sharp as a tack!Please don't ever leave this group! It seems Ken Willis also immediately knew this, as today, he cheerfully sent me for free, 4 pdfprintouts via email for Grace Specs at 227mm/228mm, and as well ... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Part Deux,I went on today to check my mint Denon DP-2550, with Grace DA-307 Arm, S-P distance supposed to be 230mm, and evidently, the previous numb nuts mounted the Arm at 221mm Way off. The furthest I can mount the Arm is at 228mm, so I have con... | |

| Cartridge advice in the $2000 range Nobody's responded yet, and I'm afraid I cannot offer too much help, because I am basically light years beneath you as far as sophistication, and high quality in an Analog Rig.The most important catch phrase, is going to be synergy. Do not hesitat... | |
| VPI HW 16 Broken Dustcover. What to do? Many who owned the 16 converted them to the 16.5.VPI does I believe still supply this upgrade, with all the required parts. The only other less expensive options I can think of, if it is just the Lexan cover broken, is to find a local plastics sho... |
