| Choices, turntable purchase choices? why not buy an Oracle Delphi III or IV if that style suits you. You should be able to find one for under $2000. | |
| Upgrade Phonostage At the levels you are thinking about, upgrades become more a matter of taste than actual betterment. A little deeper or tighter bass, more extended highs, a more liquid midrange. But often you must give up something to get the other.As for upgradi... | |
| Ultimate Cables no more? Yeah, well I relied on recommendations from this website and others, as well as a good review | |
| Ultimate Cables no more? So two weeks ago when he finally emailed me back to say they had been mailed two weeks before, insured and he would check to see where they are and get back to me the next day, I still have no cables, still have no response and still have no refun... | |

| Helius Omega Tonearm no one? | |
| Surface noise Is it a Whooshing sound? What is your other equipment. could it be tube rush? Does it change in pitch? perhaps bearing noise, have you lubed it? | |

| Does the speaker port limits the woofer excursion? no, the port doesnt limit xmax movement of a woofer. Nothing to do with feeding power to the speaker, but has to do with tuning a speaker to lower its resonant frequency. Essentially the port provides reinforcement of bass frequency at whatever fr... | |
| VPI Customer Service I have gotten similar service from VPI, and from Sota and Oracle. That kind of service has made me a customer for life and I will always look to their products first before making a buying decision on a new turntable. I may stray sometimes, but I ... | |
| upgrading VPI turntable Add my recommendation to buy the Classic. Other options in your price range would be Sota Sapphire. The Rega would be a lateral move from your Jr. |
