My LP couldn't beat my CD, until now
Yes, welcome ! I remember that I had similar enlightment when I changed my modest NAD PP1 phonostage to Graham Slee Era Gold V with a modest Clearaudio Emotion Turntable. I became so hooked that you can see what happened ( click system ) ! Also so... 
Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt
Now I decided to take the mylar seriously and replace the thread belt on my VPI twin platters rim drive. As the plastic wheel is absolutely not adapted to drive mylar tape I will replace it with a Pinch roller wheel used on the capstan system of r... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
I am frightened by the materials used on this thread. A plinth made of lead ? Please we also have to be eco/planet friendly on our hobby. One of the reasons I use VPI for turntable, it is an ecological minded industry.
