VTF measurments with a unipivot
Thanks Steve. Perhaps I should clarify a bit more. As you know, most scales do not allow taking measurements precisely at the record surface level. So if you measure the VTF higher than the surface, will it measure lower or higher than the actual ... 
European Vibraplane?
BydloPeter, all that is available in EU: as I learned Newport has a warehouse in France. BT-2024 automatic platform sales for:1869EU+VAT+150EU shipping within EU (unavoidable) which in my case gives 2450Eu...2/3 of the price of te deck I want to s... 
European Vibraplane?
Peter,If you're referring to the SLM series isolators from my first link, you only need a bicycle pump, not a compressor. The S-2000 series isolators need a minimum of 660 lbs to perform, so they are arguably not suited for home audio use...The pl...

European Vibraplane?
A Newport engineer recommended these:http://www.newport.com/SLM-Series-Compact-Air-Mount-without-Self-Leveling/139799/1033/info.aspx#tab_orderinfoVery reasonably priced, but certainly not as efficient as the Vibraplane. They do have isolators with...

Thanks for this info, Peter. 
European Vibraplane?
Steve,What does "SOS" mean and what is the price and model number (series) for "the ones for audio"? The website doesn't list anything designed specifically for audio. Thank you. 
Cream: Disraeli Gears Documentary
I must say that VH1 has done an excellent job with the Classic Albums series, assuming VH1 is responsible for them. The story behind the making of "Wish You Were Here" was also incredibly well made and fascinating to watch.Btw, you can also watch ... 
Cream: Disraeli Gears Documentary
The documentary can also be caught on VH-1. They replay it every so often. 
Cream: Disraeli Gears Documentary
Saw it on VH1 a while ago and loved it. Made me realize how awesome those times were for art and music, and how far culturally we've moved away from the free spirit of the '60s and '70s, but for much worse. 
Gary Moore
Thanks for posting, Donjr. I didn't get into Scorpions when I was a teenager until after Roth left so I don't know much about his work at all. However, an episode of This Metal Show with Roth as a guest I saw recently did make me want to explore h...

Wow, one response to such an amazing musical performance by one of the best guitarists ever. A guy playing bassoon gets more reaction. It's a shame. 
VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video
Stringreen,You've got to give it a rest, man. I never said the CI was "needed"; in fact, I stated it was not necessary or essential. Re-read my posts. But it is very useful in my opinion and its usefulness cannot be disputed. So right back at you ... 
VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video
Last Lemming,Because, as Brf said, the CI allows very minute changes to both the VTF and azimuth. I suppose the ring is theoretically supposed to enable small adjustments, but since it's much heavier than the CI, it is not as easy in practice. Als... 
Platform for VPI super scoutmaster
Schipo,The steadywash platform works to prevent the vibrations from the washing machine from transferring into the floor. That's the opposite of what you want to accomplish with an audio platform; i.e., you want to prevent any floor-borne vibratio...
