| Arm Heighth on VPI Classic Jrsbat2If you are comfortable with what your doing and feel its worth the extra effort and you hear an improvement then by all means carry on. This thread reminds of a question I posed here awhile back, I was in the habit of moving my floor standi... | |
| Best rock bass player Jack Cassidy and Phil Lesh took the rock bass guitar where it never had gone before. Fat humbucking pick-ups on their Guild Starfires was the foundation of the San Francisco sound. Who ever played bass on Funkadelic's One Nation Under a Groove des... | |
| Arm Heighth on VPI Classic Don't adjust the arm height to compensate for the difference in album thickness. It's not practical and can cause more issues down the road. | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable I've owned many turntables over the years and VPI has always been my favorite. Maybe because I'm from Jersey I'm prejudice. Of course I started with the HW-19jr, moved up to the Scout which I loved then took the plunge to the Scoutmaster. I didn't... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Zenblaster, you my friend are a bully. Your browbeating and condescending tone, not to mention your superiority complex make this a no win conversation."....Obamacare milks and bilks it's customers. Anyone who accuses VPI of milking and bilking is... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Obviously the Right leaning conservatives here are itching for some kind of political debate if not an argument regarding VPI's "right" to manufacture such a product and our "right" to purchase said item. I have been personally insulted and my exp... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Rauliruegas,I am not a scientist so no "tests" we're performed on my end to back up my above statement. If you can please turn to page 30 of your current issue of Audio Advisor, paragraph five, and I quote,"the best-sounding turntables are belt-dr... | |
| Did you get your new Music Direct catalogue yet? Zenkai, Very nice web site. coincidently there is a blog about the differences between belt drive vs direct drive, a topic I have approached in another thread. Very eye opening in it's Zen like simplicity, | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Suteetat, regarding your first paragraph, it appears it is you who is lecturing me and I resent the tone. I read Stereophile too, I'm aware of the costs of this hobby and certainly don't need to lectured by someone who choose's to defend the ridic... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Lewm, if my belief that a belt drive turntable sounds "better" than a direct drive nominates me for knuckle head of the year here on Audiogon then I whole heartily accept. I can't pretend to be as astute as many of the members here, it fact I love... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable I don't need to audition a $30,000 direct drive turntable made with a submarine motor to call someone a knuckle head. I remember when you could buy a ranch house for that kind of money. I stand by my statement. I don't care how good the deck sound... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable I remember when I first heard a belt drive turntable. I thought my Denon DP-72 was the shit. The rosewood vernier matched my Tandberg TR2080 and with my high end moving magnet cartridge I was a happy camper. Then one day I checked out a Thorens. I... | |
| Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment Be patient and wait for the item to be available within driving distance. I drove halfway to Maryland from Jersey for my speakers. | |
| Did you get your new Music Direct catalogue yet? After digging up the above mentioned past catalogues it was interesting to note that they had a bunch of graphics over the photos. Not so with the Garcia cover. That's what makes it so eye catching. Check out the matted cover on my systems page. | |
| Did you get your new Music Direct catalogue yet? Love the rosewood classic turntable pictured, also interesting but not surprising, VPI is now making direct drive tables.Check out my system pics to see the framed picture of the Garcia cover. |
