| What to listen for when setting VTF? I added a 5g headshell weight to my VPI and the problem went away... Now I get no distortion at 2.2g for those records. Thanks again for the help. | |
| What to listen for when setting VTF? Thanks guys, I will look into these things... | |
| What to listen for when setting VTF? I got a digital gauge to measure the VTF, I am pretty sure it's at least in the right ballpark. It still sounds good at 2.0, but for some classical recordings, the strings have some silbius or distortion, that are corrected by going to 4.0. I am s... | |
| What to listen for when setting VTF? My system, VPI Scoutmaster with Zu Denon 103 sounds the best when the VTF is 4.0g (violin without distortion)???? What am I doing wrong? Would it be wrong to leave it that high? | |
| Can you buy a VPI tonearm base ?? Yeah, the folks at VPI are very nice, I lost the rubber washer and they mailed one to me for free! | |
| phono pre amp giant killer? If you just need MM, then check out the Yaqin MS-12B, change out the horrible tubes for some NOS and you will be rocking in no time. | |
| Music Hall MMF-5.1 or Project RM-5SE By the way, I tried the blue point 2 on my MMF5.1 before returning it and getting the 1042, 1042 is way better than the blue point 2. Blue point 2 was on the same level as the 1012. | |
| Music Hall MMF-5.1 or Project RM-5SE I didn't realize you had the newer version, but I got the Goldring 1012 cartridge. The sound of the 1042 is much fuller, more lush, better top to bottom overall, but it was the midrange that made the most impression on me. And on top of that, less... | |
| Music Hall MMF-5.1 or Project RM-5SE I had a MMF-5.1, and I upgraded the stock cartridge to a goldring 1042 by buying the 1042 stylus. Probably the most noticable improvement I have heard for $200. Just slide off the old stylus and put on the new stylus, no adjustment required... | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? But, the rock and classical lp's I have from the 70's and 80's definately sound ALOT better than the ones I have from the 60's... | |
| Periphery Ring The ring works great on the warped discs I have, but not sure if I heard that much difference on the flat discs. But then again, I have a lot of warped discs, so this is probably a good investment for me anyways. | |
| Neighbor Complaining... Well, not so fast... I was blasting away Ride of the Valkyries (CBS, Szell, exellent, by the way) and she came knocking on the door... I am think of putting a big rug on the back shared wall and that should probably do it... Anyone know where I ca... | |
| Neighbor Complaining... So I came home and moved my speakers to the other wall and played one of my techno record and ask the neighbor if they could hear it, and guess what? Nada! Life is good again, I am back, baby! | |
| Neighbor Complaining... Thanks guys... I am in San Francisco and just got a loft downtown in one of those old office building converted to condos... The floor seems solid, probably concrete, but not sure if the walls are concrete... Not even the new high rise buildings w... | |
| Can good speakers take edge off digital? Well, don't get me wrong, I love my Quad speakers, but they are rated at 88db, so I thought maybe this is a bit too much for my 18w SET amp to drive. So maybe the edge I am hearing is perhaps distortion? I wanted to try a more efficient speaker, s... |
