| Azimuth 2020 Been there, done that. Even if you get crosstalk correct, you cant get phase difference correct with mirrors, macro cameras, voltmeters, etc. You may get close if you are lucky. Plus, many carts are out of spec in terms of crosstalk so getting the... | |
| Azimuth 2020 @lewm, yes you can adjust just azimuth the get best crosstalk and zero phase difference. But that means all other parameters need to be set in the sweetspot too. So you do end up having to go back to adjusting VTF, VTA, etc. and then back azimut... | |
| Azimuth 2020 Puffin seems to only measute crosstalk. Need to measure both crosstalk and phase to optimize azimuth (a la Adjust+ or AnalogMagik). | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions At your price point and based on what you are looking for, I would recommend a tube-based phono stage instead of the op-amp/solid state phono stages you mention. | |
| Setting Anti-Skate on VPI Fatboy Tonearm If you need to use the VPI anti-skate device (depends on the arm and cart, IME), the easiest way to set it is with the Peter Lederman method as previously mentioned. Using an LP with a wide lead-out groove or a grooveless LP helps with this. Then ... | |

| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance IME, in no particular order:1. The VPI Periphery Ring (which is a lot heavier than the others out there) and HRX center weight. Noticed darker backgrounds when listening to quiet passages at high overall gain. Also provides more platter mass fo... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush @daveyf and @mulveling Agree 100%. Can't avoid tube rush even with the best of tube phono stages. It is very faintly there. Whether you actually hear it will depend on how low output your MC cart is (and thus how much gain you need). | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush @ three_easy_payments I agree. The VTPH-2A is a very highly regarded and designed unit. Even way above its price point. And very musical. There is unanimity on that.As for tubes, I eventually found a set of 12AX7 EH tubes that tested and sounded b... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I also have the VTPH-2A. Great phono stage. I am using a Hashimoto HM7 SUT with it. At one time, I did have a little tube rush that could be heard from my listening position if I maxed out the gain on my preamp with nothing playing. So, I tried di... | |
