| How do I keep my dedicated room & gear cleaner? A word of caution. A few years back I obtained a few of the Oreck air filtration machines which have ozone generators. Later on my audio dealer advised me that ozone wreaks havoc on rubber products. Sure enough all of my o-rings and belts on my VP... | |

| The Hub: Just how bad is it in high end audio? I'm not speaking on behalf of a dealer but Brooks Berdan of Brooks Berdan LTD. in So. Calif. is actually in the process of expanding his store. They are nearly doubling their floorspace, adding among other things, several additional sound rooms an... | |

| VTI audio rack, any good? Look at the Cambre racks on the Gon. 5 shelves for $89! Or 2 3-shelf racks side by side, $99 each. Not too shabby WAF. I had one of their amp stands, very sturdy, well built, and nice looking. | |
| Ordered from beatles.com - BS Got the mono for $229 at Best Buy this morning...nice, but a "butcher " cover thrown in would have been really nice. | |

| VIP, SOTA & Oracle Turntables Just had a small earthquake in LA while my VPI was playing...never skipped a beat! | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic Sirspeedy, before I read your response I ( with my dealer's advice) decided to keep my Aries and upgrade my nearly worn out Benz LP to a Benz LP-S as a more economical and immediate way of improving the front end instead of a wholesale change of t... | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic Isanchez and others, thanks for your suggestions. I have not decided on any table yet. I welcome opinions on any table that may come into play. BTW my preamp is a Hovland hp100 w/ MC... I think I may pay Brooks a visit today for some free analog t... | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic Wendell, I agree. Just trying to get much better sound, speed, and noise control that you get with the GP. The Aries is a good table but since I recently acquired the Triplanar I feel the table is somewhat of a weak link. Brooks has often told me ... | |
| Vpi vs. TW Acustic Taters, no offense but Brooks, whom I have known for a long time, also had nothing much to say about the Galibier line because at the time I mentioned it he had never heard of it... As for another VPI table?...no thanks. |
