Jmcgrogan....I just installed a Cadenza Bronze on my Prime today. I had a 2M Bronze on it and thought I could just use the same mounting screws....but no. Just like you they didn't work. All the screws by themselves were to short or to long. But I saw in the hardware bag a small spacer (larger than the washer) and used that...it worked just fine. Look in your bag and see if those are there. They screw on. Good luck.
What cartridge on your VPI prime?
I own a VPI prime, I installed a denon 103 R and I had never change the cart due to lack of funds. Now I want to upgrade my analog ring to the same level of my digital.
I have been considering based on reviews.
1- ortofon quintet
2- charisma MC2
3-ortofon black
4-kiseki blue.
5- rega alpheta 2.
I would appreciate any inputs from your end about cartridge selection and phono associated currently I am using graham slee reflex M.
Kind regards and thank you.

@ekimg, thanks for the tip, but my bag had different hardware. I had two sets of screws, both of which were too short, and no sets that were too long. I did wind up ordering the proper hardware, so I have the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze mounted now. I also just picked up a Transfiguration Phoenix S today, that I will try sometime within the next couple of weeks. My Prime dustcover just arrived today too! Anyone else heard anything about VPI releasing a Prime Signature turntable? |
First install? What protractor are you using? Feickert? MintLP? I'm running mine at 2.4g VTF and a effective input impedance of 118 ohms into a Bob's Devices Cinemag 1131 SUT. I used a Feickert protractor and set it up using the Baerwald curve. It sounds pretty damn good to me. Did you check your azimuth? Did you buy it new or used? http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/setting-up-a-phono-cartridge/ |
