| VPI Scout 2 vs. Classic 1 vs MOFI ultradeck Right, not a big deal just kind of a big deal. I have owned plenty of tonearms including three different unipivots.You should handle one before you buy one. As the above poster pointed out they are more difficult to handle and require additional care | |
| VPI Scout 2 vs. Classic 1 vs MOFI ultradeck Make sure you are going to be happy with a unipivot tonearm. They take some getting used to and are more difficult to set up that a standard tonearm | |
| SME Armboard for Triplanar I think the OP could just buy a blank (the board before they drill the hole for a Rega) from soundsupports.com and have it drilled locally for the Triplaner | |
| SME Armboard for Triplanar I have not done business with them. It does look like they can provide a mounting plate you could use. | |
| Wanting to sell speakers but don’t know how to price them...... @lazarus_longItems can only be rated in full point increments (10, 9, 8, etc.) on the Audiogon scale.There are no partial point increments, so they can't, by definition, be rated at 9.5, 9.25, 9.375 etc. on the Audiogon scale. | |
| SME Armboard for Triplanar Take a look here and they might have something that would help you. They have quite a few mounts. Maybe you could buy a blank and have it drilled for your Triplanar.http://www.soundsupports.com/home | |
| Wanting to sell speakers but don’t know how to price them...... Also, used speakers are not 9.5/10.0 by definition. Take a look at the Audiogon condition rating guide. | |
| Cartridge new or used ? It really depends on the seller. I have purchased used cartridges with success as well as new cartridges.I am considering sale of a cartridge (purchased new) which has been used for 19 record sides (I keep track) so about 6-7 hours. The sale of hi... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience You should talk to your dealer. As mentioned above dealers take trade-in equipment, which they usually want to turn quickly. That in turn can mean a good deal for you.I have bought some equipment used, but a lot of it was dealer demo equipment. | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? Under $2,500 a Used Basis Vector is an excellent tonearm and the Ortofon RS-309D is also under $2,500 used. | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Nice move on the Lyra Delos. Very good cartridge at a great price.When you upgrade your tonearm in the future You will get even more out of it.Best Regards,Jim Perry | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns @lak +1@liamowen,I think you are on track with adding dedicated outlets and room treatment (look at the GIK website) first, then focus on a great analog front end.Happy New YearJim Perry | |
| VPI Classic 3 or SME 20/2 Congrats on your SME 20 purchase.A really great reference table | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns Sorry if my initial comments seemed terse.You have a system that looks like it sounds great and probably does. You are also in an area of significant diminishing returns. I have been in a similar situation and it seems like you can churn through e... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns I think you should go to an audio show before you buy anything.I would also suggest that a different turntable and cartridge may be a better place to upgrade |
