If you need something cheap just get the record doctor 2, I think around $200. It does the same thing as the 16.5 but you have to do a little more work yourself. I have one, each record takes me about about 25 seconds to clean. Just as efective also. I'm sure others will argue but it sucks just like the others.
My VPI Scout has arrived
After finding a little rock encrusted on the side of the box, I started sweating.....
But VPI packs the TT's very well, and no damage whatsoever, but to the foam.
Its a breeze to setup, and mine was up to spec pretty quick.
I am very very happy with this TT,,,,,its just quite an eye opener how good these things sound...I do get a jolt of static after I remove about teh 3rd LP....Is a rubber mat the only solution?
Here are a couple of pics: First LP's played were Richard Thompson's This Old Kit Bag and Mock Tudor...
The cart is the Dynavector DV-X20...
