THE LITTLE BLACK BOX, 399.00 ABSOLUTLY NUTS

The dealers aren't talking about it too much yet, but we do have a gimbal option now :)  Totally agree, the uni-pivot can be a pain to deal with and we have been long overdue for having a gimbal option.

Regarding the price of the box, we always try to do the best we can to keep the costs down/fair while still being able to keep the doors open and the lights on.  The XLR junction box is a low volume item as well using the Nordost wire (the cost of wire is a whole forum thread in of itself), and the parts are sourced in the USA.  A lot of it is because of the low volume and additional cost of the components.  Our standard RCA is $200 with standard wire and $300 with Nordost.  Hope that helps on the insight of the pricing.

Matt     I've tried to do business with your company with no success , There was a time I could call Harry and get what I needed in as few as a couple days.....But VPI has decided that dealing direct with customers was no good.....The closest dealer is 400 miles from here so that doesn't work very well.....I have about six VPI turntable systems that I can't maintain because I can't get parts, so I'm trying to convert to a VPI , Rega system......That doesn't seem to be working either.....Dealers don't want to order and sell something unless they make 200 % mark-up, so its had to order a belt or something like that with any success , and if you get the wrong part you really have problems.....Communication, that's the solution ......Will

Good for you do you feel better now? Sometimes releasing your extreme inner frustrations and emotional angst can release you from the pressures that concsume your daily existence and hold you back from achieving your lofty goals and living the extraordinary life of your dreams these emotions are a hindrance on your ability to grasp the people and world around you. As you mature may learn to control these eruptions so that you do not do it in the presence of other people which can cause you embarassment  and cause them to recognize that your point in personal development is not sufficient to allow reason to control your actions and decisions and instead cause you to suffer from being a prisoner to your feelings and often blame others for your unhappiness please feel free to hurl like this in the group anytime as far as I am concerned it is no trouble at all. Most men live lives of quiet desperation but there's no need for you to suffer in silence let it all out!
