| VPI 16.5 clamp As bugman has said, there are other options if you dislike the stock little knurled knob.One could also probably find a local machinist, and have them machine one for no more than $10 tops. Mark | |
| do record cleaning fluids soften the treble? Hello Myles,Yes, as I understand it, the VPI Typhoon is claimed to have twice the suction of the lesser VPI 16.5 RCM.So, to ask further, are you then saying that this additional suction force is an advantage, or a possible detriment?I do notice wi... | |
| do record cleaning fluids soften the treble? If I may, can I then ask, and perhaps make a few conclusions-assumptions about these different viewpoints-opinions mentioned here? What I have normally noted, when there was a rare, past time of playing any uncleaned records, was usually a higher ... | |
| proper use of arc protractor ? No, one should not then rotate-move the tractor when going in between inner, and outer points of the arc of protractor.Only initially, if the protractor itself is grossly off the mark. If one cannot trace the Arc perfectly, one could possibly have... | |
| proper use of arc protractor ? Yip's Instructions that accompany the Tractor were IMO well written, and easily-clearly understood. As was mentioned in your other thread, the goal of correct overhang is to get the stylus to precisely trace the Arc from start to finish of Arc. It... | |
| How important is Cartridge Overhang? Need help Just curious, and I have a question.Is there a way to verify the Arc Protractor itself, that it was indeed made to proper spec? Should there then be a specific measurement from center of Protractor spindle hole, to the Arc on protractor? Mark | |
| Mint Protractor Yes, it will, provided the Protractor is properly made for the Tonearm it is being used for, and that that Arm has been properly mounted, at its correct Spindle-Pivot Distance.There is a bit of "play", if your headhsell Slots can account for a sli... | |

| VPI Classic Cartridge Help The Classic will come with a Stylus Force Scale (Shure), and a VPI Cartridge Alignment Jig. If you can set up a Cartridge like the Ortofon Blue, you could set up a Koetsu Coralstone as well. If you've liked the Ortofon Blue, found it's output adeq... | |
| VPI Classic Cartridge Help I think it's not so much a question of what Cartridge will work well with the JMW Arm, but what will ideally work with the WestTWO Phono Stage? Keep in mind gents, the OP stated a Cartridge between $5-$700, not $5K-$7K. :-)Only by reading the revi... | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP I;m sorry Doug if I didn;t quote word for word what you maybe said to me almost 3 years ago, but I think I came pretty close. Your advice, and some common sense dictated to me, that I hadn't used such on an audio-vinyl system for the past 35 years... | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP The Cardas LP is said to be made of a harder vinyl formulation if that's of any help. Mark | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP Hello Nolitan,About 2-1/2 to 3 years ago, I posed some similar questions to Doug Deacon about this record. Not so much about how long I could, or should use it, but was it a worthy tool to even use at all?I had the older Cardas LP, and had just bo... | |
| VPI SDS use question I posted at audio asylum, directly to Harry Weisfield of VPI,, the possible issues about initial voltage at the SDS, which I believed should be exactly 115V.Harry concurred, and said yes, that start up voltages should be 115V, and if not, to give ... | |
| VPI PLATTER Bob brings up some very good points. Back in '97, when I purchased my HW-19Jr, the 6lb frosted acrylic Platter was like yours, the Bearing-Spindle was a press fit, and I never felt inclined to somehow seperate it, for fear of knocking the surface ... |
