Sold my TT, getting another
Toyota Camry to Honda Accord? Nothing could be farther from the truth. I just got the Vpi today and this thing is a beast. Maybe from a Camry to a Hummer! The MMF and Vpi are not even in the same league. How could you possibly make that comparison... 
best interconnect under $100 for my system????
Dicovery NOS $80 
Discovery cables....
I have my entire system using the Discovery NOS, I guess it is the original wire that helped Joe get to where he is today. My system is pure class B. Not quite up to A yet. I have tried Stealth, Kimber, Alpha Core. AudioQuest.etc.etc.etc. The NOS ... 
Whatever happened to HDCD?
I don't think that SACD will catch on. Don't hold me to it, But I just don't. The average Joe Shmo isn't buying into SACD. The audiophile already has a hi-rez format ( LP)No need for SACD. I just don't believe there is a market for it. DVD-audio, ... 
Best redbook player under $5oo
Cal CL-15Right around $500 used. You can't beat it. Neither can any of the others listed. For this kind of money, depending on the rest of your system. You are as close to Hi-Fi as you can get. I use one in my system. I know it is the weakest link... 
New York-UPSTATE
Okay, I seemed to have missed where. Are we going to meet somewhere in the middle? I am south of Syracuse, I certainly don't want to drive to Buffalo:-) 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
Magnavox, My wife bought it for me for Christmas. I shook the box to try and guess what it was. Well that cracked the lazer lens and it never worked right. I still have it. I was too embarased to tell her I broke it. That was 1988 I believe.

Aisip, I dont think it is like that at all. I have much more choices when it comes to upgrading the Vpi. The MMF7 isn't able to upgrade. The project arm on the MMF7 has no mass for a heavier cartidge. I just seemed to be stuck with the stock table...

Tone arm is the AudioQuest PT-6It is the Vpi that was listed here. 
Did I damage my cartridge?
It seems that when I pushed the cantilever down in the goop. It built up on the top. A good quick cleaning solved the problem. Now I know beeter and have just let the weight of the tonearm settle onto the goop, and everything works fine. 
Rogue 88 problems
Without question the 120's will provide those qualities and more over the 88. I had the Magnum 88, and now the Magnum M120's. Just leaps and bounds above the 88. I also use the Magnum 99 preamp. I wasn't thrilled with the 99 matched up with the 88... 
Graham Slee era gold MkV
Anyone heard of it???? 
Rogue 88 problems
I run in triode. I prefer it over ultralinear 
Rogue 88 problems
Everything !! First of all, I am using a pair of Proac Studio 250 speakers. They aren't the most efficient in the world. 89db I believe. The M120's have gobs of power compared to the 88. Every note seems presented effortlessly as compared to the 8... 
sleeper budget redbook players....
I might not be reading this right but, I thought the question was a redbook player.For this i would consider the Cal Cl 15Darn hard to beat at the price.
