| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables What impresses me about the Prime VPI line is its consistency throughout the line. Mat Weisfeld (the current head of VPI) has stated that the company is shifting from its Pivot tonearm to the Gimbal as its standard tonearm. I have had both and th... | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables wturkey: Excellent system. What I notice is that VPIs really do last a long time and can be easily upgraded or modified. I mean at some point, the analog experience hits a ceiling and the fact one can reach the top with incremental improvements ov... | |
| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables bdp24: Great historical description. The 21 pound platter is so quiet and stable, it's a simple marvel. The optional Analog Drive System (ADS) is a real-time improvement also. I was a bit skeptical spending $1200+ on a drive system but it too is w... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? I have recently purchased a Ned Clayton 1254 4 SUT and for about $600 +/- is outstanding. I find it more revealing than my Bob's device at double the price and it has nice, deep bass with clear highs. I am using a VPI Signature through the Ned's d... | |

| VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables Hysteve: Contact VPI at their factory headquarters in Cliffwood, New Jersey.

| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? This thread is so far removed from the original poster (OP) that I won't even try to bring this one back. I have 3 Rega turntables and after the 4th time switching out the spacers from my B880 tonearm, I braised the locking screws. I became d... | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... The OP has an excellent budget of $3,500.00 including cartridge. I own several tables ranging from a REGA P10, P8, a 50th Anniversary P3 and a recent to the market Denon 3000 NE. The P3 50th Anniversary tops out at less than $2,000 and is an excel... | |

| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Hmmm. Saw this thread and realize no-one has posted since the origin of manufacture became a main focal point here. I looked at one of my systems recently and without regard to place manufacture, I realized the following: American made doesn't me... | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice The higher end bookshelf speaker category is among the most competitive and qualitative market in the hi-fi arena. I also had LS 50s in a small room and I thought those were/are excellent for the price ($1,500) Having said that, I found that the ... | |
