| VPI Classic hum UpdateMy Aries 3 will be shipping at the end of next week. I'm having the feet from my Classic-1 install on it.M~ | |
| Good cartridge for the VPI Classic 1 turntable. Good advice, get a Jico SAS stylus and you'll have an amazing cartridge for the money. I had one on my Classic 1 and will be installing the same arm cartridge combination on my Aries 3.M~ | |

| VPI Classic hum The Aries 3 in on order through my dealer. :-) I hate to see the Classic go, but the hmmmm is too aggravating. Even though it's really low I can still hear it. Thanks for all the help, but it's time to move on. Happy holidays, and stay away from u... | |
| Ortofon 2M Bronze vs. Grado Reference platinum A Dynavector 10X5, would be just the thing for you. You may need the shim and this may stretch your budget a bit. However it will be worth and most (I think) folks would agree that the Dyna plays extremely well with the Rega tables.M~ | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please Take a look at the Soundsmith line and order the one that you like in a mono configuration. You can also get the VPI 3gm headshell weight (which I did) to help those low compliance cartridges.M~ | |

| VPI Classic hum Mine didn't at first, but it does now. Again, if you never ever heard what I'm talking about, you wouldn't know that it's there. For the most part, it's covered up by the music. It's only apparent when you are listening to the table through headph... | |
| VPI Classic hum I am, it will be in exchange for an Aries 3.M~ | |
| VPI Classic hum I agree, it should be. I've contacted VPI and also have spent over $1000.00 for various fixes and things. The thing is, that, if you had never heard what I'm hearing with my table, you wouldn't notice it, even now( with all the fixes). The problem... | |
| VPI Classic hum I received my new styled Carmen on Wednesday and installed it. It's a great looking cartridge and sounds wonderful. Now to the point, the hum is still there. If you weren't aware of it before, you probably wouldn't notice until you listen to a rec... | |
| LP12 vs Classic III vs. ?? vs.?? I have the Classic 1 with the 300 Rpm motor and the Shure M97XE regular stylus and the Jico SAS stylus/ To me the Classic 1 is the same as my LP12 with a bit better imaging, base and rhythm. To put the difference into $$ it's about a $500.00 (to m... | |
| LP12 vs Classic III vs. ?? vs.?? I went from the LP12 with Ekos,Cirkus,Trampoline and Lingo II to a VPI Classic and absolutely love it, except for the hum problem. The PRAT to me is a TAD bit better with the Classic. When you add the Ring/Record Weight/SDS it's better still. The ... |
