You Still Need, What??



I had told my wife I was going to buy a turntable and have been buying vinyl for the last 6 months. Well, about a week ago I bought the table, a VPI Super scoutmaster.

I got the tt home and my wife said ,"It will be nice that you can finally play your albums" I looked at here and said I still need a phono stage and cartridge. She couldn't beleive it. Not to mention the record cleaning machine, stylus pressure guage , etc.

When she was asking the price of the cartridge(diamond needle)she felt that would be better spent for a new shiny sparkly for her finger.

Anyone else with a similar experience with the significant other not relizing all that is required for a vinyl system.

My wife always thought that a jewelry concession should always exist in hi end stereo stores. She thought they would make more money from sparkling minerals than from black boxes.
By the way, Moonguy....when you get your turntable, dump the VPI minifeet and screw in Bearpaws.... Vermontaudio.com Still another add-on to be reckoned with.
Moonguy, I love the Gingko guys...both very nice people, however, when I tried the platform with MY turntable, it made matters much worse. Bearpaws make it much better. Bearpaws are adjustable up and down..so the fit is fine.
