| New VPI purchase I bought one of the last VPI HW-40's earlier this year and what a difference it made. I use the Ortofon Cadenza Black. VPI did the initial setup and I just tweaked it after I placed the table where it was going. I use a Stillpoints weight. I have ... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable I tried a bi-wire setup and found it made no difference so I went with some very good speaker cables and same brand jumpers. FWIW | |
| Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true? Given how many discussions on the forum deteriorate and get testy, this one had been very entertaining and fun to read thanks...! | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito In a class action suit, the attorneys will make millions and we will all get $5 gas cards for each one step we own. Looks like I will get $5...! | |
| For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system. Having worked since I was 15 and a wife that made me invest all the time. We retired a nice nest egg. We never had any kids. During the pandemic, I decided to get back into audio and get out my old cd collection. This eventually led into vinyl aga... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito I only own one of the "One Step" albums by Eric Clapton Unplugged. I am very pleased with it and even the wife who is not into audio thought it sounded fabulous. Will I buy others? Possibly if it is something I really like. I am curious to see if ... | |
| Need advice for a replacement phono cartridge I have the Ortofon Cadenza Black on my VPI HW-40. Simply incredible paired together in my opinion. | |

| Cables recommendation @el_it My power cables consisted of Furutech FP-S55N cable and Furutech ACFL-50(R) IEC and 50M(R) plugs for the main power cables to my power controller and the mono amps. All others were Furutech FP-SO22n cord and Furutech FI-11-N1 (G) IEC and ... | |
| Cables recommendation My system is all McIntosh and I went with Morrow Cable throughout. I use their mid priced cables and they sound superb to me. My power cables are DIY using Furutech components. I had a lot of fun making my own. FWIW. | |
| Words of wisdom on choosing a speaker Only read the responses after looking at the OP. | |
| This sounds suspicious... Strange indeed. The seller could have gotten twice what it sold for and it still would be a deal. Having owned a 462 my self, it almost requires two folds to move or an ape. When it originally arrive it was strapped to a pallet. | |
| Turntable advice +1 for VPI Classic | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? I have the McIntosh MP1100 and love it. Acquired it about a year ago. I have the VPI HW-40 and Ortofon Cadenza Black. | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing There are many billionaires in this world. They do not blink at paying a million for some "state of the art" speaker system. And when they are standing there talking to one of their billionaire friends they need to say well I stole them for a mill... |
