Vpi vs. TW Acustic
"P" ...if the table could not "do bass",the speakers would not have performed as such.... It was meant to be a bit of an "exageration",but you might not have picked up on it(actually you most likely "did") and your goading remark speaks volumes ab... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
HifiGary,here is am excerpt from a recent conversation I had with a dear friend. He is a retired music reviewer,but has considerable contact with some curent equipment reviewers/industry folks. I am stating this as an answer to your original post ... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Really,this is getting a good bit out of control!Why I am asked to mention comparisons sort of misses my point about other viable options.I've not A/B'd virtually any product over the years,other than power cords or cables. I "have" heard the exac... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Dlanselm,sorry but I've learned my lesson!I'm done on the subject. It's kinda like I called someone's kid ugly.No intention to purposely ridicule anyone's choices.Only to mention my thoughts on better/less costly designs,as how they might relate t... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
OK,I understand how you guys can feel....Yet,my experiences in the hobby really have nothing to do with any of my own personal opinions here.To insult me by claiming you know my agenda is absurd. I think I gave enough design emphasis to my other c...

If the response is an insinuation towards my post,I might add that assuming something is meaningless in your case.If I am not the target,then I apologize whole heartedly! If I am the subject of your response......you know "not" what you speak of.....

Sota...by a long shot!! Great design.Well thought out,as to LP accuracy.Great ownership of the company,who will be around for their customers. Of course so will the other choices,most likely.Yet,from experience the Sota folks are appreciative of t...

I have to admit I had expected some nasty responses to my "opinion".Impressive that Audiogon "can" be polite when a favorite product is criticized.I think anyone has this right. The recent thoughts are pretty much on the money,imo,and I have heard... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
One of the biggest "phoney" rip offs in the high end is on the turntable front!!Here,most folks simply go for the biggest hype products,and seldom use common sense to make a personal decision. The table is meant to "simply" spin a record,without a...

Jasper,I'm happy for you.Who could argue with your specific choice in componentry.More importantly,enjoy your family,while they are still young. Mine are grown and I "REALLY" miss their youth! Best

Yo Downunder,nice to hear from ya!!I'm looking forward to the Super Bowl,but actually I'm more excited about the Aussie Final. I need to wake up early Sunday,but it'll be worth it. PLEEEEASE,don't get excited about my sensationalizing anything,and...

Stiltskin I'm happy you express that emotion.I admit to being over the top at times,but honestly my comment was a generalization.Why should I come under attack whem I'm not "specifically" singling anyone out?OK,I can see how "that" can happen-:) I...

Btw,Stiltskin...I never once said "over priced and under performing products for the jaded and clueless".As you seem to think I had.It seems it is "you" who are attempting to single me out for criticism,and I'll bet I can figure out why! I mention...

Stilty,it amazes me why on Audiogon so many folks get so annoyed when someone attempts to input critical "opinons" about specific products,that they have some contrasting experiences with. I "never" even mentioned any names!!!......Where do you co...
