| speakers/turntable for Marantz 2325 I concur to perhps take the least painful, and expensive path, yet will provide solid sound, and enjoyment. The Technics 12XX series has all the bells, and whistles built in, strobe, pitch, light, etc. KAB would be the source, and there's a pletho... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Hello Doug, thank you for chiming in, and it's good to see you back here posting some!Was I'm sure hard for some of us folks "holding up the fort" so to speak, in your absence! I will probably do as you wisely suggest, and remove, and put away the... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Hello Thom, Thank you too for your comments, and support, your experience has helped me.With my AQ PT-8 Arm, I am currently using a Pete Riggle VTAF, and as you probably know, the VTAF Bushing in essence replaces the Arm Mounting Base.My Table is ... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Just wanted to follow up here, what my findings were, and I hope my post isn't too long, or bores anyone.Ken Willis very kindly forwarded me some Arc Protractors to try, both Baerwald, and Stevenson Geometry at 211mm, and 212mm.Clearly determining... | |
| Return to forever I seen Stanley years ago, at the now long gone China Club in Chicago. He had just came out with his "East River Drive" release.He's definitely a mind blower! When I left that concert, my face was actually sore, from the ear to ear smile I was wear... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Hello Dan_Ed/All,Of course topics such as this have been beaten to death across the internet over the years, and it's an age old battle. I reckon nothing will ever change in regards to this, and the different "camps" as to who's wrong, and who's r... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Yes, you are correct Jimateo, you did initate this thread, and sorry that it went off on another tangent.I will tell you the same as another has mentioned, but in a kinder fashion, to search archives, here, and others, like Audio Asylum, an Audio ... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Dan_Ed, I welcome Maclogan's comments, and with my participation in this thread, only hope to perhaps help him, make him see another side, rather than alienate him, and make an enemy. Enemies are easy to make, and who needs enemies, in the real wo... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Thank You Narrod, Another person has advised me exactly as you have, to perhaps trying Stevenson Geometry. While my rig is sounding pretty darn good, I think all can sympathise, trying to squeeze every last bit of performance from my vinyl rig. My... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Hello Narrod/All.Thanks for the info so far. The info I have downloaded, and know so far, is a claim of the AQ PT-6 through PT-9 on Vinyl Engine of an effective length of 229mm, mounting distance of 211mm, overhang 18mm. All show null points (Baer... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Just wanted to add, the suggested Spindle-Pivot distance for the AQ PT-8 Arm is supposed to be 211mm. Mark | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Maclogan-Dopogue,Not that I have any axe to grind with Harry Wiesfield, but maybe you don't remember a time back, where VPI was selling some really bad funky stuff that coagulated in the bottle, and Harry's-VPI's recommendation, was to throw the m... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Jimateo, I gotta agree with Hdm. I've tried to convince many in another forum, but with little luck, as many are very headstrong about thier (IMO garbage) DIY solutions of Dawn Dishwashing Fluid, Kodak Photo-Flo, 99% Alcohol, Distilled Water. Then... | |
| Have You Tried the Super Platter After about 12 years of owning VPI Gear, I have never gotten the chance to speak personally with Harry W. As folks say, he may very well be the nicest guy in the world, this I don't know? It is almost akin to trying get Shaolin Kung Fu lessons fro... | |
| Cartridge upgrade question Absolutely Ninetwofour, I agree with your ideas 100%.For sure, my word, or opinions aren't gospel, and there are others both here, and at Karma who may offer better, usable advice, differing from mine.The one thing I'm sure none of us want to see ... |
