| Vinyl Care twangy57, You might want to visit discogs.com some time for used records. | |
| Vinyl Care twangy57, I am originally from IL, but left there many moons ago. Why do you ask? ghdprentice makes a good point, VPI machines sound like very noisy vacuum cleaners. That is because they use very big blowers and motors. That is also why they ... | |
| Vinyl Care Mention must be made that VPI makes the most long lived record cleaning machines. While new ones start in $600 range they often turn up used for reasonable money. I have a VPI 16 which is old, but works great that I paid $75 for a couple of year... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback Well it seems that there is universal agreement on two points so far: First, the record must be a good one, GIGO and all that jazz. So we will stipulate that the record to be played must be of high quality in every respect. And second, everythi... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback I would like everyone to go back and carefully re-read ghdprentice's post. I think his logic is excellent and could form the basis for consensus. Thoughts? | |
| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? "Bill, Not a good idea because of capacitance. Capacitance will cause a HF roll off probably before you notice a loss of gain."

What you need seems to me is a bit of line loss between the cartridge(s) and the phono stage. Do you have an extra long set of phono cables you co... | |
| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? viridian said it best. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One We're not supposed to do politics, but amen to that! | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? I believe your solution is the correct one. | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? edsemble, You are right these issues matter irrespective of source be it analog or digital. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One westcoastaudiophile, Can you provide a link? My GAE arm tracks well, but it will no longer raise and lower at the back to adjust VTA for differing cartridge profiles. It has been maintained IAW the recommendations provided in the manual and I ... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One lewm, First and most importantly, I am not angry. My GAE is long out of warranty. The dealer is out of business. The TT is in daily use, sits beside my HW40. Mono/Stereo. I play a lot of records. I researched the arm freeze problem looking ... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One lewm, My comment concerns the two companies and how they do business. |
