Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable
I think you will be very happy with the Fatboy gimbaled. I replaced my uni for the gimbaled on my Prime Sig and love it. Respect, Joe

You don't have to be embarrassed! I'm sure the Luxman stuff was outstanding as well. I've been using the X509L integrated with my ML ESL11As for a few months now and am REALLY happy. I was using ARC ref 75 and 3 and this integrated really makes th...

As always, I appreciate the info. Proceed with caution indeed. Respect. 
Turntable resonance normal?
Thank you all. There is no noise from the Adona rack. Music sounds great, think I'll just enjoy. That's what I want most from this hobby. Respect.

I also hear a similar thump tapping on the plinth and base. What do you think about that mc? 
Can the McIntoch Mc 452 and Mc462 power Martin Logan Summit X speakers
Hi Rustler, we corresponded a few weeks ago when you were looking for a match for your ML's. I have the ESL11A's and just received the Luxman L509X integrated that I was telling you about. Wow, I am totally smitten! My speakers never vanished so m... 
Sax, piano, guitar recommendations
So good to hear folks mention Danny Gatton! Touched by the hand of the Creator for sure. Recently got "Monk In Motian" with Paul Motian, Joe Lovano, and Bill Frisell. Great stuff. Geri Allen plays piano on some cuts Joe's stuff with John Scofield ... 
ML ESL11A speaker placement
Right you are tuberist, thanks for the response. 
Inner groove distortion solved!
Hi mijostyn, how ironic I just got that test record today! The last band on side 1 is tough! I've been a fan of the Captain since the 70's. Got to see him 3 times, with Zappa on the Bongo Fury tour at the Trenton War Memorial, at the old Emerald C... 
Best amp for Martin Logan Summit X
Hi Rustler. I have a pair of ESL-11A's and have been running an ARC Ref 75 amp. After a lot of investigation I have realized that I am not getting all that I can from these great speakers. At a 4 ohm rating, like yours, they need more current to  ... 
Inner groove distortion solved!
Yeah dentdog, Ive had that album since it came out! As a matter of fact it's going on the tt soon. Also waiting on delivery of Jederman Remixed- the soundtrack from discogs by Hans. Ry is on that too. Heard about it from JV at TAS. Ry is tops in m... 
Inner groove distortion solved!
Good stuff MC, thanks. Do yourself a favor and check out Hans Theessink on Bluegroove records, outstanding! 
Inner groove distortion solved!
Thanks all. I did watch the Lederman video yet again and took millers advice and put on a record that has a demanding passage at the end. There was breakup in the left channel so I made small adjustments until the distortion was minimal and both c... 
INNER GROOVE DISTORTION
I'm intrigued by the idea that the gimbaled fatboy is preferable to the uni-pivot. I await any experience/input. I listen mostly to classical and jazz but rock also. { Chick Corea says you can't label jazz as such anymore, but you know what I mean...
