| Questions on Overhang/Cartridge Alignment using Dr Feikert Protractor on VPI Classic 3 Seeing the cantilever from all angles is easy. I did not even have to use the magnifier. If you can see through to afford it, it is most definitely worth it. If you change cartridges frequently there is no better way to go. I don’t like the mir... | |

Isonoe is direct replacement of the stock Technics feet, it was originally designed for professional use (where the sound pressure and vibration are very high near the big sound system) and adopted by audiophiles, it was more efficient on OLD Tech... | |
