| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? ,,just for your edification..the Gingko platform is in 2 pieces with the table itself suspended, but the motor not. | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat The non-felt mat delivers much more air around the instruments with greater depth and width. The Boston does the same but to a slightly lesser degree, however, it seems to have more definition. When I exchange the Boston and the anti-felt, I like ... | |
| cantelever not straight, advise please. If it was mine, Id consider it useless, get my money back and get a new cartridge. A bent cantilever can not be fixed except by replacing it. By "straightening", it, whose to say that the diamond is in its optimum position. No thanks = not for me. | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Artemus_5..try the Gingko platform under the VPI. Check out their website. Vinh the owner is extremely nice and very helpful. | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat Xagwell...I think you might be pretty safe with the Non-felt mat, but all the others (Boston I'm positive) you have to change the VTA. | |
| VTA for arm vs VTA for cartridge I just read that you do your evaluations with headphones. I have the Sennheiser 650's with Cardas balanced upgraded cables and use the Headroom Blockhead (top of the line) headphone amp. The sound is in many ways better than my speakers, but for s... | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Damping added depth and air to my Benz LP.. Sorry it didnt work for you | |
| Phono hum No Kmulkey, let me clsrify what I meant...these devices get rid of static electricity if your concern is damaging something from the zap therefrom. You have to eliminate the hum via a different means - you cant enjoy your music with the hum unless... | |
| Phono hum Use a Talisman, Milty Zerostat, etc. You can't listen to the thing humming along!! I/m using Anti-Cables from the Superscout to my Ayre. Not only is there no hum, but it is dead silent. If you turn up the volume and put your ear to the speaker you... | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat I liked the Non-Felt mat, or the Boston Carbon Mat | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? You say your table is on brass cones and a stone shelf. That would seems to be a poor choice. Brass cones impart a "brassy" sound to whatever I tried, and a stone slab should just aggrivate that resonance. In truth, you simply cant rid yourself of... | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? Regarding the rim drive for the VPI. I spoke to Harry about it and he said that it is a significant upgrade that is realitively cheap to add to the current Scoutmasters. The kit includes a new flywheel which has the drive wheel attached. The motor... | |
| needle problem Your arm has no provision per se for VTA adjustment, however, there are after-market gadjets that permit this adjustment. Expressimo Audio (now out of business ) has one, I think VPI makes one, - it can be found. Do change the back couterweight to... | |
| The AR turntable If its so good, why do you want to upgrade. If you do - a better cartridge would be appropriate | |
| which would you replace first? I am floored when you say the VPI scout/jmw9 is an underachiever...I'd rewire the arm with Nordost, but anytime I heard it, it was an overachiever |
