| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Sancho, that is an unfortunate generalization. I know several 911 owners who are great people and are always helping each other with their cars. There is also a very high rate of audiophileism in this group. Real Audiophiles like helping each othe... | |
| I finally get it! The Spindle to pivot distance is specific to the arm being used. What you complain of is typical of VPI's tolerances. You would be best served by replacing that arm with something like an Origin Live arm. The platter and bearing are fine (VPI doe... | |

I have never been crazy about Linn cartridges. Clearaudio's build quality is as good as it gets. There are also the ... | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Wow, three turntables and $160k in digital hardware? Do you mind me asking what you do for a living Mike?

| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other There is no pecking order. Unless you are recording, tape machines are pretty worthless due to lack of software. Yes they can sound fabulous. Otherwise, it all depends on the mastering.
