VPI 3D arm
I'm referring to Stringreen's comment.  It has always been purported that the 3d arm and the classic metal are interchangeable.   Not so without changing out the pivot piece which VPI is theoretically selling me should they decide to ship it.  Hop... 
VPI 3D arm
Alas,  It now cost me  $211.43 shipping included.  Oh, that's presuming they do decide to ship it.  I ordered it on a Friday it's now Wednesday and they still haven't shipped it.  I did call to find out why and was told that Matt Weisfeld is the o... 
Audio quest niagara 1000
Hello,My TV, my 4K Blu-ray player and my NAS appreciate my Niagara 1000 and I'm pleased with the improvement. My tubed Manley Chinook phono pre amp wants to mate with it. WOW! No need for "A" "B" comparisons. Apparently tubes LOVE my Niagara 1000.... 
Class D Technology

Hello Stringreen,I appreciate your input from many of the forums I've read over the years. I own VPI Classic and a Dynavector 20x2L.Would you recommend a better cartridge or a 3d printed arm as first upgrade? Thank you in advance.

Definitely diggin' it!Thank you all for your time and experience. Apparently, the ears have it. I was a mite suspicious before posting this and I swapped a set of electro-harmonix in for the telefunkens. While the telefunkens beat the electro-harm...

I appreciate all your help and your suggestions. I was slow about posting the actual unit due to the unlikely chance that anyone would have one or have heard of it. It’s a handmade unit “Sheer Audio MM-77” that I purchased off ebay from Vintage Au... 
best cartridge under $500
I have to second Dougdeacon's comments. I owned a denon d160 and a denon 103R prior to reading Raul's MM vs. MC thread. I purchased 3 different Empire cartridges and all for $70 or less. Originally I purchase one and it blew my moving coils out of...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Aolsala,It's wonderful having the benefit of your years of experience added to the already present contributors. Please share your insights into "Empire" which was a competitor while you where an engineer for Stanton. I look forward to hearing you...

When does analog compete with digital?
Dear Nrenter,How sweet to have children to share your life with. They are the music of life.Sincerely, 
When does analog compete with digital?
Darn sorry to hear that. I apologize that my pathetic $60 Empire cartridge and my tubed phono pre-amp kicks sand in the face of ANY cd I've ever heard. Perhaps I just don't understand the concept of the silhouette cutouts that cd offers that I've ...
