Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review
I wonder if there is anything to be gained by going with the elliptical stylus vs an OCL on the JMW arms. I haven't heard the zephyr but, I think my paua with OCL stylus sounds wonderful and is a great combination with the JMW 10.5 arm. What would... 
Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review
Bringing this thread back to life... LOLI am still enjoying the Paua very much. It is a wonderful combination with the JMW arms. VPI and soundsmith are jointly developing a cartridge called the legend which is based off the paua. I'm not sure what... 
Desire upgrade but uncertain where to begin
I would like to suggest the soundsmith boheme for a cartridge within the $1000.00 price range. I owned one for a year or so and it paired with my VPI classic very well. The bass on that cartridge is well defined and tight. Definately worth a look 
VPI Classic - Now you have one......
I also changed my classic motor to the 300rpm. It eliminated the pop on power off on my deck as well. Speed stability seems better with the 300rpm motor also 
Gruv Glide - Do you use it?
looks like the consensus is that it does help those of us that have some records from the bargain bin. I wont use it on mint condition, clean records. It does help quite a bit on VG grade vinyl 
Gruv Glide - Do you use it?
I thought this would be a mixed bag on responses. I will say that I like clean records too. I think anyone that is posting on Agon probably takes good care of their LPs. With that being said, I do know that gruv glide is leaving a residue on my re... 
Gruv Glide - Do you use it?
I checked out the groove lube. It looks like a similar product. It is cheaper than gruv glide. I might give it a try when this can runs out 
Quality of Analogue Productions pressings
I have had good luck with QRP. All of my QRP titles have been flat and sound wonderful. I did have a doors album that had a scratch that was replaced with no hassle. 
Lyra Delos and Soundsmith
I had a soundsmith boheme cartridge with the ruby cantilever. I liked it a lot. My soundsmith sussuro has an aluminum cantilever. I have no experience with the boron cantilever but, I can say the ruby cantilever survived quite a few accidental dro... 
Phono Hum w/ Pro-Ject Debut III
This may help and it might not but, worth a shot. I have heard that many cable companies use a PTFE shielding in the cable itself. This can be also found as teflon tape or plumbers thread tape. It is white PTFE tape. I used this to shield a cable ... 
VPI Classic tweak
I might give this a try, I never thought about running two belts. We Shall see. 
VPI CLASSIC 3 PLATTER
Do not use any glass cleaner containing ammonia. Ammonia has a chemiacal reaction with aluminum that will tarnish your platter 
Any owners of the Classe CP-800 here ?
Thanks for the information bob and eniacI would like to compare the CP-800 and CP-700 side by side but, I don't know of a dealer with the CP-700 in stock. I wish the CP-800 had the same seperate PSU configuration as it's predecessor. My primary us... 
Any owners of the Classe CP-800 here ?
Does anyone have any general thoughts on these items at all. I'm surprised this thread hasn't gotten any feedback. 
Best Rock Album in 2013
I will second the jimi hendrix - people,hell and angels. It has some real good songs. The vinyl is a good pressing as well.
