| VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm? Not sure yet if my first response will be posted, but besides the possible issue with the Belt changing places on the Pulley, another cause could be the possibility of your SAMA not remaining stationary?I'm finding that out myself with a recent SA... | |
| VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm? What your problem may be, is the Drive Belt? When was the last time it was changed? The SAMA Motor shouldn't be changing, or fluctuating speed, and the SDS should be providing stable voltage-frequency to the Motor.But, if your SAMA is using the ne... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Hello Bill (Audiofeil) I know this sounds like a discussion that appears to be going back and forth, "yes it will-no it won't", but in the hopes of learning something, and hoping you folks will share some of your seasoned knowledge, why do you thi... | |
| Phonomena, vs PS GCPH, Others? The Sutherland Ph3D could be another candidate in this price range. Mark | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft FBhifi,I have used the #6 One Step Cleaner "Of old", gotten from Osage Audio about 6-8 months ago. The newest #6 is said to be even better, now that Jim Pendelton has come across a better specific component in the cleaner. I could be wrong, but I ... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft To FBhifi,AIVS #6 One Step Cleaner has been avilable for quite some time, but being that the maker states a new, improved formulation, then I guess you could call this particular #6 formulation new. Not sure if the newer versions are yet on AIVS's... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft syntax, not to be argumentive, but yes, all things being equal, one should hope, that for the asking price of these Loricraft, or Keith Monks type RCM's, with their thread feed-point nozzle designs, that they should do a better job.But the first s... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft A head's up on AIVS Cleaning products. I was informed personally by Jim Pendleton, president-owner of AIVS/Osage Audio three days ago, that most of his award winning cleaners have been recently improved again, and are currently on his shelves. Fro... | |
| Good Clamp for VPI HW-19? Are you using the two piece clamp, with the frosted coaster, and little black delrin knob? It works, but is a bit more of an inconvenience due to two parts.VPi's entry level all delrin clamp is good, and should be within your budget. Next one up i... | |
| Good Clamp for VPI HW-19? Dependent upon what platter you are using, one problem you might encounter, with a better clamp, or an aftermarket clamp, like a BDR (way over $100 anyway) is Dust Cover clearance. A small inconvenience, but with a thicker platter, like a MK-IV/TN... | |
| Benz Wood SL Very lean from the start I've owned two Benz Cartridges in my life, the original Benz Glider HO, bought in '97, and the Ruby 3, bought in '07.While I cannot recall the Glider sounding so thin, and horrid upon first fire-up, the Ruby 3 almost sounded like nails on a chaulk... | |
| VPI 16.5 clamp Hello Kgturner. Not sure of the cork mat thickness, but I suspect it is slightly thinner than 1/16" thick. I have a quite lengthy article about the swap-mod on osageaudio's site, the maker-seller of AIVS cleaning products. The article is under the... | |
| VPI 16.5 clamp It's hard to make a case by case determination on each and every machine, if there are those who note seizing, or the record slips, or another result of mal-adjustment of the vacuum tower assembly can be cracked vacuum tubes.A few months back, Har... | |
| VPI 16.5 clamp Another possible cause of slippage, or maybe a better term could be called siezing.The Vacuum Wand could possibly be out of vertical adjustment. There is a Collar on the vacuum wand assembly which is adjustable in height, and held in place with an... | |
| VPI 16.5 clamp There could possibly be other causes, if you are regularly experiencing slippage. Going by memory, I'm thinking that the Spindle is only threaded so far on the shaft, One could possibly shim the Platter on the Platter-Motor Arbor, thus in effect r... |
