| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I have seen but not personally tested these arm and their picadillos. I have a VPI arm wired with Valhalla, and I too was prepared for increased brightness, and detail. It took a long while to break in, however, it is now very natural overall. I s... | |
| Run in time for moving coil cartridge My new Benz Micro Ebony took many hundreds of hours to break in, and I suspect it isnt there yet. Youre saying that your Ortofon is quite old. If it has been set up properly, and doesnt track very well, I would suspect a hardening of the suspensio... | |
| Instructions for a Turntable Basics Protractor This is probably an overhang alignment tool. If it is, it probably has a grid imprinted on it with an indication (either a hole or a cross hair indication for you to punch a hole)for slipping over the spindle. My suggestion is that you put a piece... | |
| Different lengths of interconnects ?????? Keep the same lengths | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire If you jacket your seperate cables, you will loose the benefit of bi-wire. On another idea...don't think that a marketed cable by a speaker or amp manufacturer is a preferred combination. I thought so, but was bitten hard when I realized how awful... | |
| Turntable or vinylology 101 for newbies. There are those on these posts that say the table, the arm and then the cartridge. It always seemed to me that I got the biggest bang from a better cartridge. That seems logical to me since the hardest work is from the transducers...the cartridge ... | |
| Zerostat? Any Other Good Options? I understand that the Talisman is not needed when you use the Mapleshade device. I have a Mapleshade, and it works better than the Zerostat I had..I'm satisfied. | |
| Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI? Get the VPI | |
| Strange phenomona this hobby. Actually, stereo can bring music to our homes better than live music - in some instances. I am a professional violinist and know that some seats at the Met and/or most seats at Avery Fisher, are just horrible for hearing what the music actually so... | |
| Quadraphonic L P played with a 2 chan. cart. This thread brings to mind one of the first foray's into stereo I remember. It was a tonearm that became 2 arms at the cartridge end. You put in 2 monophonic cartridges and it used special records - one channel on the 1st half of the LP, and the o... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install OOPS - I forgot to tell you something else regarding the 9 Sig change to the 10.5i. The dust cover does not fit any more. If you have a Gingko dust cover it has to be cut out in the back to fit the junction box that now sticks out over the back, a... | |
| Strange phenomona this hobby. ..sure is strange. What sounds like music to one person (MBL) sounds like the arrival of the German Panzer division to another. There are no absolutes in this hobby - just nurturing ones' prejudices. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install When you exchange the 9 Sig for the 10.5i, you get a complete arm, jig, tools, etc. Its a complete package except for the side thrust gizmo (which I don't use anyway). I suggest you keep this gizmo from the 9 Sig (part of the upgrade is that you m... | |
| Is that record dead yet? For 30 dollars or so you can get a steamer which is better than a RCM | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install Do you have the 9 inch VPI arm that normally comes with the turntable? If so, there are 2 allen screws at the base of the arm...one in front and one in back. You will also notice a Knurled thumb screw that encircles the entire tonearm pillar. When... |
