Ive been traveling so I havent been near a computer.......thanks for your responses. Im still interested to find out the differences between various VPI tonearms. i.e, the JWM 9 vs the JWM-9 signature.......or the 9 vs the 10 or the 10.5. I wonder what adjustment features are considered worthwhile for the money.
new turntable/setup advice.....garrot Optim FGS
Im looking for My first TT in years. I dont have any local dealers so I will probably be ordering the gear. I have been reading everything here for several months and now I am ready to pull the trigger. I am weighing several decisions.
1) Do I start off with some sort of starter table? Rega P-3 or the like. Or do I jump in "Whole Hog" and get a Scoutmaster or something similar that can be upgraded.
I'm leaning toward the VPI line because I understand the setup is pretty painless. So a couple of questions about the VPIs.
2)Is the JWM-9 "signature " A really good upgrade over the standard JWM-9. Other than the wire upgrade are there other features such as more versatile settings.
2) Ive had a recommendation of the Garrot Optim F.G.S. MM cart. I would like some info from someone using this cart.
Sorry if Im rehashing old posts but I have read everything that I could find.
