VPI Scout Placement
Hi there, I think several posters have already described in some detail simple yet effective solutions for "acquiring or building something". I would hazard a guess you already have in mind an image of what you want. If not, reread the suggestions... 
Best Used Bang for Buck if I Finally SWITCH ?
For the taks you've described I can't imagine you would find yourself in a position wherein you regret dumping MS. I switched to Mac about six months ago and have yet to look back. In six months of daily use, I have not once rebooted, defragged, d... 
Belt slipping off Scout
Hmm, that's odd. Is there a noticable height difference between the top of the plinth and the top of the motor case? The motor should be no more than about 3mm below the top of the plinth. If the distance is greater, (and the feet are properly ins... 
VPI Scout Placement
Hey there, I am by no means an isolation expert. However, I am a Scout owner and, like yourself, my listening room is carpeted over wood flooring. I largely corrected the problem with a post and lintel system. I use two record filled record crates... 
$6-7k to Spend on Turntable
Ken, Perhaps we would be able to better match a table to your needs if you provided a bit of information about what you are look (or listening) for. As is, we can only respond with what we like. 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
Per Opalchips comment concerning 98% of the differences people think they hear from turntables"-I have a Scout and a Garrard 301 both setup with the same arm, the same cart on the exact same isolation playing into the same pre, power and speakers.... 
Open Baffle Phy HP KM 30 SAG update
Dawgbyte, A keyword search over at the asylum will answer all your questions in less time than it took you to ask. A word of warning-Don't start your research unless you are prepared to pony up the dough for the drivers. 
Modern Day Ragtime Genius
If you enjoy his music, you owe it to yourself to pick up something by Eric (Ric) Schoenberg. Another modern day ragtime genius and a masterful fingerpicker. He made a few recorders in the 70's on Rounder Records in MA (I think). These days he rec... 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
If you are seriously considering a Zyx cartridge, per Lugnut's (outstanding ) suggestion, than I strongly suggest you place a call to Mehran at Sorasound. He can take you through the line and help you make an informed decision to get the most of w... 
Omega Super 3 or Axiom M22Ti on Sonic Impact T-Amp
Gmood,If you ever find yourself in MA. your welcome to hear BOTH of my 33's playing at the same time. Did you ask your dealer "what is the sound of one driver flapping?" If you decide to stop by, I promise to not make any jokes of that calibre-Fin... 
Omega Super 3 or Axiom M22Ti on Sonic Impact T-Amp
Luis actually has another speaker that may, theoretically, provide for a more synergistic match with the T-Amp, his TS33. While they are more expensive than the Super 3's, at 96 db at 4 ohms, you will get a lot more juice out the T amp with them t... 
My new system.. Musical Fidelity/Consonace/Omega
Having never heard the MF, I won't comment on it's quality. I own a pair of Luis' TS33's and will say that your drivers need at least 50 hours on them before the sound starts to mellow out. They probably won't show their true potential until after...
