RE: REVIEW: VPI Industries Prime Turntables

What you might try doing is loosen the arm base mounting screws, the arm base has quite a bit a free motion before tightening down and we set it for 258 +/- 1 mm. It could have been moved in shipping. Having seen the adjustment range of the arm base I think you can get to where you want to be or much closer than now. While I doubt you will hear a difference you will feel better.

Making the Avenger with multiple arms and rotating arm boards has shown me the actual distance is less critical then you knowing what it is and compensating for it. You can print out arc protractors for any spindle to pivot distance and get your alignment perfect that way.

I know I make Fremer and probably John crazy when I say these things but I hear a much greater difference getting azimuth, SRA, and VTF spot on then the overall lateral alignment. I can play with the overhang and spindle to pivot distance all day and hear almost no difference as long as I am relatively close. You're just moving where the null points are and where you like your distortion to set in and how much, a no win game. Then again I don't use anti-skate which makes other people crazy!!

BTW, if you play a lot of classical the Stevensen method sounds the best!!!

Enjoy your Prime and play music, not math.
