VPI Speed Problem

Belt drive cheapo is the problem. Throw it on the 'gon with all the other VPIs and get a Lenco.

Is that sheriff johnbrown?

(acoustic6,
your on the wrong website- go to barbiedolls.com you might have a chat there).

VPI has convinced many with there slick marketing.
Nice photos on shiny pages.
Too bad.
My only intention is to help liquidate your ignorance so that you might enjoy an excellent, stable turntable foe many years to come without tweaking every so often.
And yes, I do rebuild and sell a Lenco once in a while. No big revelation, sheriff.

Kthomas,
I wish I knew the answer to your problem. My guess it is a bearing or belt issue. A drop of oil and or grease? Perhaps a stretched belt.
Tfkaudio,
You're right.

Enjoy...

Kthomas,
I recently purchased the remastered Moondance. Compared to the original, as in many pressings, I prefer the original. Many remasters sound overdone. In this case too bassy, vocalist in your face and music seems either bloated or in the background. With the original, the band and Van seem to be in the same room, playing with each other on the stage and not in separate rooms with their own volume controls (bass and vocal mic beefed up). That's how I hear the 2. (Could be the crappy Lenco.)
On another note:
I just saw a a film at the NW Film Festival called "Irish Rover" good footage of Van playing with Dylan and The Chieftians.
For his earlier stuff, which I like very much, get "Van Morrison In Review" on eBay for $18.00.

Dopogue,
I thought WE were the Lenco crazies!
But old Jbrown is OBSESSED. Talking and writing about Lencos and JN.
From his ranting, he probably knows every post, old and new. Too bad he doesn't understand.
I think he's a closet lencolover???
Perhaps he has big-plinth envy?

BTW John, what happened to the high road?
