| What would give the best overall improvement New VPI feet. Rock solid bass. The VPI chrome and delran clamp. It's heavy and threaded. A 3" maple block. | |
| VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question I see VPI does not offer the acrylic platter on any of their current production models. | |
| VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question "Upgrading" is subjective here. I believe the change was done for profit and not performance. VPI makes "improvements" like this and then raises their prices while cutting manufacturing costs. The acrylic platter and isolated motor can still be fo... | |
| Hot Tuna "S/T" One of my favorites. I did not like like the original transfer to CD at all. Same can be said for Blows Against the Empire and Manhole.My friend just brought over a CD from that same show titled live at the Berkeley House. This has tracks not hear... | |
| Janelle Monae, real deal. Looks like the Super Bowl agrees with me. See her @ halftime. Maybe if you guys put down your classic rock records for a minute and took a look around you would see that some NEW artists deserve a listen once and awhile. Now go back to your Zappa ... | |

| Hot Rats I like the extended tracks on the CD. The album takes on more of a flow. | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Does anyone use balance controls anymore? A slight adjustment to compensate for speaker placement maybe? To correct what appears to be a problem in the mix? Is the less is more threary applicable here as well?Mesch, my problem is learning to accep... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Kiddman,My comment was directed towards equipment but I do miss the 2 for $5.00 deals so readily available in my youth. My first albums, Sgt. Pepper and Goodbye Cream, 5 bucks. Now I pay up to $30 for a new album but that's for another thread. | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Mensch,Sounds like a duck, walks a duck.You certainly did make a declaration.That's what these forums are for.Enough with the jabs. | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. I want to hear how the producer/engineer intended the recording to be heard. Equalizers and tone controls have no place in my system. | |
| What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight? Dust. Lots of dust. | |
