    Re: VPI Titan has landed

    Looks great.

    Personally, I would go the VPI direct drive option.

    Very interested to hear your thoughts on how this compares with Kronos Pro. I think Myles Astor has the direct drive version of this (Vanquish) at present so will hopefully do a full review at some point

    I don't see that happening. Different cartridges, different tone arms, different phono cables (going with all WyWired Diamond for the Titan thanks to the suggestions here on AS), different phonostage (DSA), different platforms, even different power sources.

    To be honest, I needed to bring in a Reference level VPI table and I bought it to listen to.

    I thought about the direct drive tables, but Mat explained there is really only one guy who knows how the DD motors are built, work, etc. and he's quite old. They are working on a new solution for DD motors, but it's a ways off.

    Way too early. I had a quick listen last night. Two of the three arms are perfect. The arm with the transfiguration has too high VTA, but its adjusted all the way down. Argh. Frustrating. Will post pics later.

    Put a small spacer between the cartridge and the arm. Not ideal, but better than VTA being off (to high in this case)...

    Thanks. I did that this morning, just haven't had time to test and measure. I did try some modest sizes spacers and it wasn't enough. Went to a bigger size and I THINK it will work.

    The rim drive is...uhhh...well....creating noise. I've asked for a good old belt drive in exchange.

    Re: VPI Titan has landed

    Is the rim drive unit making noise, or is it causing noise by vibrating your platform? If the former, I assume from one of the two motors?

    Re: VPI Titan has landed

    To clarify, the RIM drive itself is not noisy. What's happening is feedback beyond a certain volume level. I can still listen fine at moderate levels, but you do "hear" the RIM drive via resonances. Remember, horn speakers amplify everything 10 fold. Once you get past a certain volume level, then you get runaway feedback (low rumble growl). I believe what is happening is that the bass is creating resonances which are picked up by the RIM drive and then passed through to the table --> arm --> cart --> repeat.

    If I didn't have a sub floor (and a better rack perhaps), then I suspect most of the issues would be resolved.

    However, I think in my case, a belt drive would be better.

    i don't believe the type of drive (rim versus belt, in this particular instance), will make a difference. I have two demo rooms and in the suspended floor one (the other is a ground floor room with concrete flooring) I have had this issue with one of my full range speakers in the suspended floor room. Three different tables, belt drive and direct drive, both would have feedback at higher playback levels. The only way that I have been able to somewhat eliminate it is to use a rumble filter, or use the on board EQ system in the bass module. I also believe better isolation would help , if not eliminate this issue, however I have not yet been able to explore this possibility. If your Kronos doesn't exhibit this issue, than it obviously has better isolation. Perhaps employing an active isolation device like a Herzan (SP?), Minus K, etc. beneath the VPI will due the trick.

    Perhaps. But I can hear the RIM drive (whirl, whirl, whirl). The Kronos does not exhibit this problem and neither did the VPI Prime Signature, Avid or any number of tables I've tried in this room over the years.

    Mike - Try the motor with 3 belts. I'm very happy with mine. If you want to try the Rim drive with the Symposium Ultra over the Quadraspire rack let me know - I have the Ultra currently in storage in Sarasota.

    Or perhaps try something other than the stock four rubber feet to isolate the rim drive.

    It's the rim drive itself that is passing through the turntable to the cartridge. You can hear the motor going whir whir whir.

    Rim drives are notorious for this and that's why you just don't see them used anymore. I don't know why VPI brought it back.

    Good old belt drive is hard to beat. DD has its own set of micro resonance issues as well.

    Re: VPI Titan has landed

    Long ago I replaced my VPI rubber belt with silk string. Of course you need a speed controller to do this, because the diameter is different, but the resulting silence and improvement in sound was immediately noticeable. Highly recommended upgrade.
