Dlanselm I like your stance on conrolled opinion, I think that is a way of judging components that doesnt get enough weight in the equation. May I ask how many hours you had on that cart before you concluded it didnt sound good and with what arm combinations you used it?
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
My analog rig consists of a VPI Aries I, Triplanar, and Benz LP. My SoCal dealer suggests the Grand Prix Monaco TT should be my next move. However I don't have that kind of moola lying around and just try finding a used one. It ain't happening. So, would the TW Raven One be a big improvement over the the Aries or too much of a sideways move? And without the opportunity to audition, too risky?
