Vpi aries with Benz L-2 cartridge

Have you checked the speed and condition of the cartridge?

You need a strobe and a light source.

A couple of thoughts. Perhaps the cartridge is worn out or the table is running slow. Do you have the SDS or is the motor straight into the wall? I assume it did not always sound this way or you wouldn't have kept it for three years.
In my opinion, the Aries is a great table. Good luck.

Taters, I said earlier that you must have enjoyed the table at one time. If so, that means something has changed. Sometimes we just want to make a change. There is certainly nothing wrong with that. My advice is to be sure it is working properly before throwing money and going on the quest for something different. Good luck.

The SDS will improve the performance. I have no idea if if will solve your problem. They are easy to resell.

Check out the vpiindustries website for the SDS.
