| Ring Clamps. What do you think? Doug, I started the thread, why would I be trolling? If you read my original question you would have my seen my final comment,"I could be wrong". Vacuums weren't practical and went away, in my opinion outer ring clamps are a luxury, if not a fad. | |

| Which feet for VPI Scout The upgraded VPI feet produce a nice rock solid bass and and a more defined mid-range. They cost about $170 used were the best upgrade I made for the money. I use a 3" maple block. | |
| New Music Direct Catalog I framed it. It's on my systems page. | |

| Do prefer a black or silver faceplate? Silver has the nice horizontal grain just faintly visible with the super clean silk screening you just don't get to appreciate in the black finish.I feel the same way when it's comes to my choice of a wood finish. Never ever black. | |

| VPI new stuff... Speaking of profits,Now all of a sudden the $2500 price tag for the Prime is just an "introductory" price.If you don't happen to have the cash ready in the next two and half months your out of luck. The price jumps to $2800 justs 10 weeks after it... | |
| Granite surface plate I don't recommend this.I have one from a machine shop and it really sounded bright and shrill.I use a 3" thick maple block and I'm very happy with the warm clean sound wood brings to the table. | |

| Your favourite recording label? Bizzare | |
