| What is your dream turntable? Spiral Groove with Graham or Triplanar arm, or Shindo Garrard 301...I think these are the best looking tables I've seen, and I'm pretty sure their sound quality would beat my current set up... | |
| Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i I have heard that the new arms match better with cartridges like Shelter. I have a VPI Scout and JMW9. It was pretty easily to sell my arm, and I ordered a 9T in its place. I think a 10.5T wand would also be available (not sure if I have the model... | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout I really appreciate all of these comments. I had a conversation with Soundmith, but I'm still researching this issue. Since I have a Shelter 501 stereo cartridge (which the mono cartridge will be going up against), I'm leaning toward getting one o... | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout Thank you for your responses. Does anyone know if the Denon DL102 would match well with a VPI JMW9 wand? The price seems right... | |
| Advice Needed on Mono Phono Preamps I am interested in this topic as well. I have heard of three others that have the selectable EQ features you request:1) Tron Seven Mono (upcoming version)2) McIntosh C-8 (a vintage product that can be restored)3) Hagetech Archiver (recently update... | |
| Fremer/SSM w/Rim Drive The tape drive idea sounds very interesting. Regarding Doug Deacon's posts, which I have read with interest, it seems that he had an earlier version of the Verus...not sure, but perhaps a prototype. The newer versions allow for more variation of s... | |
| Best Nancy Wilson CDs I checked out a bunch of Nancy Wilson LPs (10 or so) about a year ago, although I was completely new to her and relatively new to this type of music. The Cannonball Adderly LP really stood out (I have the CD as well). I also very much enjoy anothe... | |
| Fremer/SSM w/Rim Drive I have a Shelter 501 cartridge. My hope is that I could get a new arm wand, like the one in the Scout II, plug and play, which would be a better match for my cartridge. Right now, I have a weight to help make for a better match. Also, I sprung for... | |
| Fremer/SSM w/Rim Drive I let my subscription lapse. What did he say? Thumbs up? Notably, VPI's new classic, which does not seem able to use the rim drive, seems to imply that VPI is hedging its bets, or even moving in a diffrent direction. Not sure what to make of it, b... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz Jaybo,Haven't you been able to find some LPs with extraordinary fidelity? I only have about 700 LPs or so, and I certainly have some with fantastic, standout sound quality. If this is the case with you, why not allow for the possibility that your ... | |
| Where to buy record cleaning fluids I've used the AIVS stuff, the three step and the one step, with a VPI 16 machine. Results are pretty good, sometimes night and day vs. using a manual brush, for instance. I check enjoythemusic.com today and saw a new product that seems to provide ... | |
| Two Arm Turntables Thanks. Do you a sense for what it would cost to get a decent plinth for the Lenco? | |
| Two Arm Turntables I really appreciate these suggestions and would welcome any other ideas. Honestly, I'm too inexperienced to say I'm partial to VPI. The Scout is the only turntable I have listened to in the past 20 years. I bought based on reviews, affordability, ... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven Has anyone compared TW Acustic with a Verdier Platine? I think one could get a used Platine for the price of a TW Raven One. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven Oh, its spelled "Feickert"...they have a website and a review on 6moons... |
