| Stylus cleaner Vodka does work well. But what about the stylus? | |
| Stylus cleaner Regardless of what kind of cleaner is used, it is still necessary to clean the gunk off of the stylus AND the cantilever. A Magic Eraser sorta works on the stylus but isn't completely effective.Looking at the problem from a microscopic perspective... | |
| Granite surface plate I had also read that a thick maple cutting board on a granite surface plate works very well. But I can't remember where I read it or if the credibility of the commenter. | |
| Granite surface plate I was planning to place the surface plate stand on a carpeted concrete floor. The stand is a machinists' stand specifically designed for a granite surface plate. It has adjustable leveling feet. | |
| Phonostage: Wavac vs Doshi vs Tron Is there some reason you're not considering a Herron VTPH-2? It can handle MM and MC. To my ears, it would be the solution. | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale There are so many for sale because they have to go somewhere. | |
| Jelco and Dynavector Short answer....Once set up properly and adjusted, the Jelco 750D would work with the DV. | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade And my opinion... Definitely a better cart. It will make a much bigger improvement than cabling. It's hard to beat an Audio Technica OC-9/II if you can get a step-up device or phono stage that can handle it. If not, have a look at a Denon DL-110 H... | |

| Why does the VPI motor thump Have you discussed this with Harry? | |
| effective mass of Jelco tonearms The effective mass including the cartridge will vary with the weight of the cartridge. Put a nude Denon 103r in a shaved-down lightweight wooden shell and that doesn't weigh much. OTOH, some of the larger boat anchor cartridges even need an extra ... | |
| Sage Wood blocks vs Herbies feet for VPI Nomad? BTW, I'm not using them under a turntable, just electronics. But they work well in that application. | |
| Sage Wood blocks vs Herbies feet for VPI Nomad? Try three Vibrapod cones pointed up. Might need spacers below the cones. Very inexpensive experiment. I've had good results using them. | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump The only time I ever had a thump is when the motor cap went bad. I don't have the problem with a variac because there is no turn on / off of the motor, just the switch on the variac. I keep the variac set to 0volts for turn on / off. You don't hav... |
