    The VPI Turntable Thread

    Still working on the "hum" with my Classic 3 as well. Haven't been home to do much but Keith at DL sent me some RCA attachments in an attempt to isolate the problem. Going without my records this long has been a severe PITA. 🙄

    Please tell me this news about Peter and VAS winding down business is offered tongue-in-cheek, no?! In other news, should have Darlington Labs' package by Saturday, where we're going to run some tests related to RFI and ground issues. Have really grown fond of my VPI Classic for a multitude of...

    The VPI Turntable Thread

    **update** Keith, our friend at Darlington Labs, has been working with me on the feedback "hum" issue I've experienced since adding the VPI. I'm very confident we'll either resolve the issue or determine a plan B, and in fairness I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on this given work has...

    Not yet, just made it home and a lot of work was waiting for me. 😣 Duly noted on magical UK device.

    Ok, I've isolated it to what appears to be a bonafide ground loop. Haven't been able to investigate resolve yet because I just got back into town. Anyone ever subscribe to one of those noise eliminator gizmos? HumZero, HumX, or another worthy equivalent... preferably made in USA?

    Back with an update, folks. I'm still dealing with trying to figure out the "hum" feedback from the addition of my Classic 3. Have a couple messages into VPI and Darlington Labs, respectively, and imagine I'll hear from them soon. In fairness, I've been more or less unavailable dusk to dawn...

    The VPI Turntable Thread

    With the provided instructions here, I was able to dial in azimuth/VTA. Still trying to figure out the Left channel feedback, as I've tested for loose wires/ground to no avail. Leave first thing tomorrow until Thursday night so I won't get back to this until then, unfortunately. Progress is good. 😁

    Thank you, will try this afternoon. My wife shares her office space with my audio room and she just went to catch up on some paperwork. 😁

    Yes, unipivot. Thus far it doesn't really intimidate me and I enjoy the idea of better overall contact within the grooves... that made the risk worth taking.

    Found the balance rod, which lever/knob adjusts the azimuth given VPI doesn't recommend you loosen the azimuth weights? Can tell I'll appreciate the additional tweaks available with this table, but outside of tracking force utilizing counterweight they're new to me. Haven't had time to...

    Thank you for the responses, have evening plans so I'll check back in the morning. Only thing new to me is the table and cart.

    Also, Left channel feedback was before the needle was even lowered. Prior to learning additional arm adjustments, eliminating that will be my priority. Any ideas?

    Tracking force is dialed into 1.85 but new to the other settings... so I'll be looking for instructional videos on the mighty Google tonight.

    Stopped into local Best Buy and picked up a cord for $18, seller picked up cost. Tight on time and will offer more feedback soon, but right now I'm dealing with significant Left channel feedback. Tried several RCA interconnects, all by Snake Oil, with the same results. Additionally, I'm new to...

    Not necessarily looking to upgrade the cord, but do see this as my end game table.. so I wouldn't be opposed for < $100. The Pangea is 120v and the stock VPI is 115v, does that difference not matter -- even when the owners manual says 115v only? Anyone have links to less expensive alternatives?

    The VPI Turntable Thread

    Did a bit of research in the absence of replies, and it would appear the stock 115v cord is plenty adequate.

    The VPI Turntable Thread

    Classic 3 owners, my kids unboxed the kit today since I'm not back until late tonight. They couldn't find the power cord. I've since confirmed the seller made an honest mistake and left it plugged into his wall when packing for shipping. He's willing to account for a replacement, or at least...
