| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations I disagree. A digital scale is a must. Furthermore, setting VTF at playing level is crucial. Test it out for yourself. I had a 0.1 gm variance. Setting VTF at playing level is strongly encouraged by VPI. As far as the VPI jig goes, I think that it... | |
| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations Here is the thing. I had it sounding excellent 90% of the time, but there were instances of distorion and mistracking that would not go away no matter what I did. The fluid helped with that 10%, though is still was not right, but it killed much of... | |
| Lyra Delos I just sprung for the Delos as well, let us know what you think!! | |
| VPI Scout/Scoutmaster cartridge recommendations Whatever you do, do NOT get a Shelter, it simply does not work on a JMW arm. People will say that it does, but if you don't want to take my word for it, just call VPI. Just 2 days ago I could not take the Shelter anymore and sprung for the Delos. ... | |

| Any reviews of SP's Mellon Collie reissue? I upgraded my tonearm and realigned everything and still am experiencing horrible mistraking on certain tracks. I am at my wits' end. I wish I knew how to ameliorate this problem... | |
| Good cartridge for the VPI Classic 1 turntable. I second the GCPH, excellent for the price. I just sold mine for $475 and it was in mint condition. As far as the cart goes, I am finishing the setup for a Classic 3 arm on my Scoutmaster II tonight. I will be using a Shelter 501, I will let you k... | |
| Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP Thank you, I own both protractors as well. It seemed from your post that you were implying that the Mint is inferior to the Feickert. I simply wanted to point out that that was not necessarily the case. I never stated that the Mint was a universal... | |
| Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP Not necessarily a "nitwit", that is only his opinion (which is clearly stated in his post) AND the Mint costs $150 less. | |
| Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP I had this same problem, I was told that the distance was 223mm, but every time I measured, I got 222mm. Too late as I already had ordered the Mint. I am now waiting to get the new Classic 3 tonearm and I just purchased the Feickert rather than de... | |
| Crappy sounding "audiophile" LP's? I don't understand why they can't simply list on the LP AAA or ADA or DDA, whatever, but like Alonski said, they know what we want, why won't they give it to us?! What is the point of a digitally remastered LP? I unknowingly wasted a lot of money,... | |
| Carts on JMW 9 Signature Thank you, I now have something to think about. | |
| Carts on JMW 9 Signature I have tried a Grado Sonata and Shelter 501 on my 9 sig, while 95% of the time they both sounded incredible, I could never get rid of IGD and mistracking at high amplitude/frequency peaks. I used a Mint and OCD'ed on alignment and tracking force t... | |
| Carts on JMW 9 Signature I have already had some bad luck, thank you for the input. | |
| Carts on JMW 9 Signature I sincerely appreciate your input, I simply want to find something that "works". Thank you. |
