Dynavector XX Mk II
I have the same cartridge running it with a Zesto Andros phono stage.Gain is 65.I can increase the volume 10 db in any input in my preamp which I did. On a side note.I had read 1 review where the reviewer preferred this cartridge at the 1000 ohm s... 
VPI SSM Ref setup variations
Would you also use the 2 symposium precision couplers under the motor drive if you were running the SSC with belts also? My motor drive is sitting on the separate small gingko platform (2 peice for SSC ) which is solid, no rubber balls underneath ... 
VPI and TTWeights for VPI Classic 3

Brf, The platter doesn't appear to be acrylic.I would assume it's the Delrin.I see the ssc's now have the classic platter. 
VPI and TTWeights for VPI Classic 3
Brf, Did you get the chance to compare the VPI record clamp to the Black Diamond clamp.I take it you prefer the Black Diamond over the vpi clamp.

New terrastone footers and plinth for VPI classic1
I also put terra stone footers under my Superscoutmaster.They are the brass adjustable/terra stones.As stated above,a huge step up from the vpi cones and leveling of the TT is so easy now. Dan is great to deal with. 
TT Weight Outer Ring vs VPI Ring
Adding to my initial post, I was wondering how the TT Weights mega ring at 2.3 lbs could out perform the VPI outer ring with a weight of 7 lbs. Do the materials used and the precise machining on the TT Weights outer ring make a difference over the... 
Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua loading
Although, my cartridge is a DynavectorXX2MK11,it's still in the family. I read somewhere here on audiogon of users perferring the 1000 ohm setting while Dynavector recommends under 100. I have tried a little experimenting and much prefer the 200 o... 
Record Clamps, which one and why?
I see TT Weight just came out with a new heavier clamp for most TT's and a heavier clamp specifically for VPI tables.
