Why I sold my Magnepan .7's
I use BAT VK-150's for my modified 1.7i. High current tube amps are the way to go.

Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?
tooblue,I saw that pulley and was not sure if it would work on my classic. I'll call Music Direct today and get one. I already have several belts so I don't need them. What table are you using the multiple belts on?
