Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next?
Tonykay, If you have commercial cassettes that sound as good as vinyl you must have compared them to some pretty bad records on a plastic turntable. :-) Enjoy but don't expect a cassette renaissance. :-)-Wendell

No. It was never a high quality analog medium when it came to prerecorded material. It could be pretty darn good when done at home. It will return about the same time 8-track does. :-)-Wendell 
VPI Classic
VPI answers phone calls between 10 and 4 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It sounds like a cartridge problem.I own the Classic and it does not exhibit the described behavior.

I'm burning in a pair of MA1s now. I have about 100 hours on them. So far, nothing special. I acknowledge a bias in that, visually, they are the flimsiest looking cable I've ever seen. It may be impacting my impression.-Wendell 
Nottingham Horizon SE
Nice table. I owned one a few years ago. The Rega nut is not used with this table. Your other questions should be asked of the designer, Tom Fletcher. You'll need to call him.No email or website. Nice guy who really knows his stuff.-Wendell

VPI Enthusiasts: Going Backwards?
Over the years I've owned 2 HW19 Jrs., a Mark III and a Mark IV. I've also owned the original Aries and a TNT HR6 with the Wheaton Triplanar arm. The Mark IV was mated with a Graham 1.5t. Of all those setups, I've enjoyed none more than the Classi... 
Vandersteen 3a sound anchor
They shouldn't be unstable with the spikes. Are you using them? To protect your floor, simply rest each spike on a quarter.Wendell

Belles 21a 22a or audible illusions modus 3a
I've owned the 21a and the M3a. Both are very good. The Belles has remote which is nice. The M3A sounds a bit darker.Wendell
