Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Perrew, your questions are very relevant, though perhaps better served in another tread. I know your considering the cart in question, please feel free to contact me, via email or better yet a phone call. Your underlying premise is correct though,... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Sirspeedy,bashing is OK, IMO. For instance, I just had a well hyped cartridge in my own system, it was the ONLY new variable, it made my whole system suffer. Am I now to assume my whole system sucks, or did just the new cart? My opinion on this ca...

Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp?
The Esoteric AT-100 is an integrated amp. However,it also happens to be the "best" amp I have heard to date, by a very wide margin. This is a break through amplifier IMO sound wise. This amp in worth building a system around, as it is so far ahead... 
Brinkmann La Grange Tube PS vs New TW-Acustic AC-3
The short answer is yes and no. The Raven AC-3 holds more accurate speed and is more dynamic than the Brinkmann Balance I owned. I owned the Brinkmann Balance with the tube power supply prior to the Raven AC-3. The Raven truly is worth the cost di...

Reason for buying old/classic turntables
Hello,I would like to clarify a bit, I really think you need ultra high end flagship tables: SME 30, Raven AC-3 etc., to surpass by a meaningful margin, the great vintage stuff. Mid level current product is NOT going to do it IMO. Hence the vintag... 
Reason for buying old/classic turntables
Vintage Turntables have a definite place in audio and not just for nostalgia's sake. They are strong performers without question and get the whole of the musical experience very "right".Over that last year I have had excellent examples of "state o...

I negelected to mention I listened to all these mats on a Garrard 301. Regarding Clamps, I prefer no clamp. I have tried several, the only clamp I thought was the equal to no clamp was the Shun Mook.
