| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Have you read Fremer's review in the new Stereophile?He must get paid by the word. Holy cow. And this is just part one.At $30,000 a pop Mikey declares it "a bargin".I hope VPI sells a boat load, judging by this half of the article it's a winner. | |
| Record Store Day... I drove to the record store only to find out its Saturday.I did pick up a green label Workingman's Dead, the Members first two albums from England and a Dynagroove RCA recording of the 'New York Shakespeare Public Theater presents Hair' 1967 in im... | |
| Pro-Ject turntables I believe Pro-Ject falls under the Sumiko umbrella. Vienna Acoustics, the Pear cartridge, Sonus Faber, all good stuff.I use a Pro-Ject Wood with a Lyra Helikon and a Pro-Ject tube phono preamp right now and this combo is hard to beat for the money... | |
| What's your latest album purchase? The Knee Plays, David Byrne An excellent recording. My third copy. | |
| VPI Classic 3 anyone try a Denon 103R I believe owning a $6500 turntable and considering a $370 cartridge such as the Denon is not really a valid question. As far as being rude, it's an observation, these analog threads seem to thrive on the VPI Classic and Denon 103. It's all been co... | |
| VPI Classic 3 anyone try a Denon 103R What are these, the latest "buzz words"?How many threads are we going to post on these products already.Plus if you can buy a Classic 3 you should know better then to ask this by now. | |
| Best sounding reggae on analog? UB40 makes great sounding records.Rat in the kitchen sounds real good. Check out a song of theirs called Contaminated Minds. | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." Flat, bland, lifeless, muddy, very overrated, you get what you pay for. Avoid. | |
| Suddenly, Porcupine Tree It's Beatles. Not Beetles. It's only been 50 plus years. | |
| Bent Stylus- Clearaudio Virtuoso There is nothing wrong with your cartridge, there was nothing wrong before you messed with it. Once the stylus sits in the groove it centers and you'll all set. How can this damage your records? If it ain't broke don't fix it. | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? It time to try a new cartridge. | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic If you have the time and the funds use Soundsmith. I did not and used Andy to straighten my stylus on my Lyra. A fair price but a little longer turn around then promised. When I got it back the length of the needle was so short the body now rested... | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Hey Jude. | |
| New level of ridiculousness I want one. It's heavy, it must be good. | |
| What would give the best overall improvement Where do I get Bear Paws? What is the thread required for a VPI Classic? I have 3 Mapleshade heavy duty brass footers with 3 spikes on top of each one. I do not want to put the spikes underneath my turntable. Can I protect the plinth without affec... |
