| Cartridge for Rega How about having it retipped / rebuilt by SoundSmith? | |
| VPI Scout Have you tried calling VPI for information? I have found them typically very helpful with great customer service. | |
| Turntable recommendation There are so many good tables available in that price range. And just as many opinions on what to get. My preference is for an original Aries (1). Its a beautiful table in both appearance and performance. An extended version of the Aries with a JM... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Soundsmith retip / rebuild. | |
| Audiotechnica OC9MLII High, Low or Med Compliance? I've had good results hanging an OC9ml/1 on medium mass arms including a Linn Basik LVX, a Premier FT-3 and also a higher mass VPI JMW-12. | |
| Cleaning fluid on the cheep I agree that steam / distilled water is the ideal rinse. Steam is another source for distilled water. It gets applied without a brush or other applicator so there's nothing to contaminate the clean water. For actual cleaning, I use the DiscDoctor ... | |

| Should I upgrade to a Manley Chinook phono pre-amp I don't make Herron Audio VTPH-2 phono stages, but they sure sound good to my ears. I used a VTPH-1mc with a Clavis da Capo and was very pleased with the music it provided. | |
| Turntable Recommendation for Beginner Classic 2 plus an OC9 would work well. Properly set up, it would perform very well. I've heard an OC9 in a Classic 2 and 3. It's a very good match. Classic 2 to make VTA adjustment easy. Should have some kind of hi-gain mc phono stage if one isn't... | |
| DIY turntable plinth material I've been curious about Corian. Is it easily worked like wood or MDF? Looking for a possible alternative to the acrylic plinth I'm using now. How does it sound compared to the VPI plinths? | |
| Turntable Recommendation for Beginner I've got a used HW-19 III with a Premier FT3 that would be a nice table for a first timer. I was using it with an OC9ml (1) with good results. Always performed well. | |
| Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences Lots of comments and comparisons. Just do a search. |
