| My final table , hopefully ! Did anyone notice that the OP said that he'd ordered a VPI Prime on Page 1?Congratulations Saki on an excellent choice. I think you'll find this particular item is more Porsche 911 than "Honda Accord" ;^) | |
| What tonearm will better mine? Dear NoRomance,If the Garrard truly is as "rough in upper-mids & treble" and "lacking in detail" as many experienced users suggest....then it seems to me that putting a "Super Arm" on the table, which puts a T/T’s failings under a very severe ... | |
| Is the "standard" Linn Sondek LP-12 surpassed by newer turntable brands and designs??
