| VPI JMW9 Sig. Arm Tube Ringing. Any remedies? I used the Ebony 3H with the 9 inch Sig arm and it was jaw droppingly wonderful. I dont remember any ringing at all. Call VPI with your question...they are wonderful about solving problems like these. The E-mails are short and to the point, but th... | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I use a Precision (brand name) steamer from Waldgreens.com Its about 20 dollars and I use it with really dirty garage sale albums. I also have a nitty gritty which does a good but not so thorough, but easier to use job. I also clean my stylus with... | |
| Rim Drive Super Scoutmaster (VPI) Personally, I would stick to VPI throughout or Teres throughout. I believe that the best can be had from the pieces designed for each other. If you check my system, I have all Ayre electonics and am pleased how well they work together. | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination I got into this Bi-wire thing when I got my Vandersteen 5A's. Richard Vandersteen says and I have become a believer that to bi-wire you must have 2 totally seperate pair of cables - 8 wires for a bi-wired stereo pair. Go to the Vandersteen website... | |
| Valhalla interconnects - recommended? Personallyl, I think the whole Cardas line is awful..their power cords are especially sinful. The thing about Nordost Valhalla is that it takes a very long time to break in. I don't hear a brightness, but rather a cleanliness, or clarity that real... | |
| grado hum There is nothing to do. It is system dependent and if yours hums, live with it or change the cartridge | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Harry said that it is true that damping could be adjusted by that top screw, however, it is real easy to screw up that adjustment and therefore it is not intended for us owners to screw around with it. | |
| The VPI Rim Drive I just moved from NJ to Scottsdale...My whole system is in boxes, but will put it together today. I have the belt Supersoutmaster, and the kit to convert it to the rim drive. I'll let you know later. | |
| Rega p25 to vpi scoutmaster or phono stage and mc I had a Rega 25 completely decked out with every possible upgrade. I went to a Superscoutmaster with 10.5i arm. I put my old cartridge - a Grado Sonata low output into the new table and was very happy. I then got a Benz Ebony and went WOW!! | |
| Is turntable == phono stage == cartridge right? If the VPI Scoutmaster doesn't do it for you, there are many improvements/upgrades from VPI. Personally, I'd look elsewhere. The Scoutmaster is a wonderful table. | |
| Stereo Sound cart rankings Rediculous.. | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever Harry W told me that the DB protractor is a very good one as well. | |
| What tonearms work with denon 103r? Audiofeil - I think you are correct regarding Benz's. I've been futzing with the Ebony LP for months now, changing every parameter and it really falls short. Its not that its bad, only there are better ones - even in the Benz line that are better.... | |
| What tonearms work with denon 103r? No Dan_ed, I'm already married. Regarding the Denon..I do have a good phono stage, and wonder why so many cartridges beat the pants off of the Denon. If you listen with open ears, you too will be disappointed in it. There are almost an infinite le... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced ..just for your information....I had a Grado Sonata low output. I thought it was wonderful until I replaced it with a Benz Ebony. ..no contest. The Grado was grainy, brown and colored, limited bandwith, etc. The change was a jaw dropper. |
