VPI Speed Problem

Hey John, watch that blood pressure. Deep breaths.

Just thought of something and had come back to amend the post. If some turntables slow down under a monstrous 1.5g load of stylus drag, doesn't it stand to reason that they'll slow down even more during congested, full orchestral passages? And maybe speed up when playing serene new agey stuff? How do you compensate for that?

Honestly, it had never occurred to me that a TT would do what Rebl208 suggests it may.

Dopogue,
I thought WE were the Lenco crazies!
But old Jbrown is OBSESSED. Talking and writing about Lencos and JN.
From his ranting, he probably knows every post, old and new. Too bad he doesn't understand.
I think he's a closet lencolover???
Perhaps he has big-plinth envy?

BTW John, what happened to the high road?

And here he is, Dave's li'l buddy, Yogi and Boo Boo, Mutt and Jeff, Skipper and Gilligan, the two Lenco Heroes, who somehow can't contain their "enthusiasm" for JN to their own thread, but are following each other to jack threads that have nothing to do with LencoLove. Oregon, of course, is employing 12th grade playground sexual innuendo as a defense. Nicely done-you've proven my point about your silly 'Homedespot' group hug.

Sure, 'Oregon', I've read (some) of that thread-though I've never made it completely through an entire JN post (seriously-have you?) I used to think I'd learn something, but it quickly became apparent that 'Homedespot' is no place for real tt thought and interaction-look at the way you even ran Win, the consummate gentleman and actual tt exspert, off. Instead, it's a thread based on the born-again christian philosophy: accept our dogma, or go to hell.

But that's all fine-you've got your little clubhouse. What I don't understand is why you feel compelled to jack a thread that has nothing to do with your favored tt. You haven't seen me over at 'HomeDespot' trying to disrupt whatever the hell it is you're doing-how about some of the same respect for other POVs? Or does JN insist that you go door-to-door and hand out copies of 'The Watchtower'?

As I said previously-you're a laughingstock.

Without pursuing the laughingstock thing (readers can figure that one out for themselves), I'll say only that the thread began with an plea by the OP to understand why his turntable "sounds slow all the time." Seems to me that I'm not the one doing the "highjacking."

Now froth away, John.

Wow, DP, you can't even follow the intstructions for a simple experiment. All you calculated was the added drag of the stylus. You forget about the weight of the LP itself and the RECORD CLAMP.

Long live the rimm drive!!!!!!!!!! I'm running out and getting one. Boom, boom, gotta love that thumping bass power and Brit prat and drive. That's truly high-end sound. So listenable long term, never headache inducing. In fact, I shall buy a Naim cd player to sit along side and erase all nuance from my rack.

I'm so glad we conversed. Thanks!!
