Linn Sondek LP12 impressions
Daveyf, you are right, I supposed VPI DD also does not look as impressive as most other $30,000 tables either :) 
Linn Sondek LP12 impressions
Properly setting up, Linn certainly can keep up with the current competition in its price range, I think. However, setup is really important and it is much more finicky and sensitive than VPI or TW Acoustic that I own. However, I have a good frien... 
Kl Audio LP200 ultrasonic record cleaner insights
Peter, I think it was on whatsbestforum that it was mentioned that you should not use larger funnel with KL. The reason for the smaller funnel supplied is to limit the flow rate. If you pour water too fast, there is a chance that some of the water... 
New VPI 3D Arm
Stringreen, yes, I told them about cartridges that I plan to use with the arm and this is what they sent to me with the table. I currently have Air Tight PC-1 Supreme on the table, other possible cartridges, Lyra Atlas and Ikeda Kai 
New VPI 3D Arm
My 3d arm/VPI DD that recently arrived came with counterweight that was very similar to the old counter weight on the Classic arm but with thumbscrew instead of hex screw and with Counterintuitive preinstalled. Very easy to adjust now. 
Kl Audio LP200 ultrasonic record cleaner insights
Almandog, hmm that is very strange. The only thing I can think of is that the ultrasound may not be engaging. Did the machine make a loud buzzing noise? Once you put the LP in, you will hear the water pump working for few seconds filling in the wa... 
New VPI 3D Arm
I finally got to hear 3D arm on VPI DD today. It was in a system that I am not all that familiar with but heard the regular Classic 3 in the same system before. Listening to the same record, the difference of 5% per Matt's comment in the past was ... 
spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable
I highly recommend Minus K for non suspended turntable. I used to have my TW Acustic Raven AC-1 on Symposium Ultra sitting on top of machine shop bench which has 4 inch granite table top with steel legs. The whole thing weigh about 100+ kg without... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
I suppose $30,000 is never going to be considered basement bargain price but ifit outperform its competitor at the same price point and competes at the same level as tables 3-4 times its cost, a bargain is not exactly misleading either. Somehow, I... 
Why does the VPI motor thump
I asked my local VPI dealer once why VPI does not install the bigger cap right from the beginning so we can avoid this problem. I was told that the big cap does not totally prevent the problem either as some systems will have the same problem with... 
Why does the VPI motor thump
My Classic had no problem with ASR integrated amp. When I swithced to Lamm, I had the thump problem. My local VPI dealerjust came over and change the capacitor for me. If I remember properly, it was just a capacitor with a little clip on thing, to... 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
Moonglum, thanks for the description. I saw the picture of TW/Zanden mat and it has a different colour but otherwise I can't tell if there is any other difference. However, the Zanden mat that I tried had only the soft rubbery material single laye... 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
Material science certainly has a use in audio and I think TW spent significant amount of time in material research to come up with their platter. However, if a particular mat sounds good on TW, is it only the flaw of the turntable that demands the... 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
so is this the case of a competing manufacturer/designer bashing another product? 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
fancy that a discussion regarding TW would bring out VPI basher as well! Geez... I wonder what is the different between Zanden and Zanden/TW mat. Zanden mat that I tried was very soft and rubbery and it damped down the sound too much. That was whe...
