Good arms but not great arms. One had to dial in the correct amount of damping oil in the trough to use them. I have heard good s... | |

That's why I spent more on my room construction than on my audio equipment and it paid off. See near the bottom of Page... | |

| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! @mijostyn I agree with your previous post about the competition.
