| Problem with turntable/cartridge? To add VTA on the fly for Rega tonearms, and others, see Pete Riggle's site, http://www.vtaf.com/vtafdescription.html | |
| Azimuth observations and importance Response to Lloydc: Try a hobby shop (Hobby Lobby) for brass shim stock (.001 or less). They come in various thicknesses and they are reasonably priced. | |
| Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII I have the Jasmine LP SE and it is an excellent phono-stage. I use it with a Denon DLS1. Mine has none of the characteristics that you describe.Mine has a huge sound stage and fine reproduction of intricate sound. | |
| How do you tame a Denon DL-S1? I have used a modified Jasmine LP 2.0 SE with the Denon DL-S1 and achieved very satisfying results. | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Spiritofmusic,Have you actually measured the space between platter and tonearm base? I see a couple of users of the T3Pro using outer rings with non-Transfi decks.I cannot fathom how a clamp can damp the life out of an LP: Eliminating vibration in... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Has anyone tried an LP ring clamp with their Salvation TT? The Resomat would seem to create issues with warped LPs (VTA, azimuth). | |
| VPI JMW 12.5 counterweight upgrade Stringreen,Yes, I have really tried the XTCW counter weight on the VPI 12.5 arm. I too was very pleased with the 12.5, as it was. However, I experienced the benefits of the XTCW on a Hadcock and figured it should do the same on the 12.5. It did ju... | |
| VPI JMW 12.5 counterweight upgrade In response to Stringreen: As I mentioned in my original thread, I used the drop-style VPI counter weight. However, the XTCW has a lower center of gravity, provides greater stability, and better sonic performance to the VPI counter weight. | |
| VPI JMW 12.5 counterweight upgrade Dear Stringreen,I had VPI's drop-style counter weight, as mentioned in my original thread. The XTCW has a much lower center of gravity. It provides greater stability and sonic performance than the VPI counter weight. | |
| phono preamp for Grado Master low output to C11 I have used a Jasmine phono stage with great results with a LOMC Denon DL-S1. Second hand they sell for $450. On Ebay, a little bit more (this is where I purchased mine). These come directly from China. Read some of the reviews here on AG. | |
| VPI JMW 12.5 counterweight upgrade Dear BRF, I was aware of the Sound Smith's product before I purchased the XTCW. The difference is that the XTCW lowers the counter weight below the horizontal line of the cartridge, thereby, providing greater, potential, counter-force of those pro... | |
| Building analog setup-your expertise isappreciated Google Troels Gravesen and search his site for the Jungson JA 88D integrated amp. Purchase a Jasmine mkII phono stage for a combined used cost of around $1400 or less. Put the remainder into the TT.I have both pieces of equipment. It will take you... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? With regard to interconnects: I purchased some 26 gauge, shielded, silver-coated copper teflon wire from John's Silver shop on Ebay (it was $15?) and some inexpensive solid copper RCA plugs (don't over pay for a big name. PartsconneXion is a good ... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? I used a 103r on a JMW 12.5. A few Audiogoners recommended the DL-S1 over the Shelter 901 and the VDH Frog, that I had been considering, at the time. The improvement was overwhelming. The cartridge is smooth across the whole frequency range. I can... | |
| Trans-fi Audio rim drive motor vs VPI with SDS I didn't have an opportunity to audition the VPI rim drive. I had to rely on the credibility of JohnC's review, and he gave the edge to the Teres Verus. It also seemed intuitive: There are still belts that indirectly drive the platter -motor to id... |
