Any turntable / tonearm setup experts near Chattanooga / Knoxville Tennessee
Yes, as a matter of fact there is someone else in the Nashville area who contacted me not long ago about doing a setup. Please feel free to send me a private message here or through my website for details. I optimize VTA, tracking force, and antis...

I don't write the manuals. All one can do is ask manufacturers to do better and maybe send them some content to add to their documentation. You can't force them, but nobody's being forced to buy their products if they are poorly documented and the...

Thanks for your kind words, Sam. Glad I was able to get that DV-20XL2 to sing! Sweet cartridge and a good match.Brian 
Just ordered a vpi avenger
Wow, if I had been the dealer I would have been jumping through hoops to set it all up in your home and make it perfect. It’s one thing to get a competitive price but entirely another to get what you paid for. I've set up a ton of VPIs, from entry...
