| Who in the North New Jersey area. to set up and dial in turntable? John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. Go to his store and benefit from the trip. He's absolutely amazing. | |
| Subwoofer I explained it and some of you still don't get it. You're not extending the low end, but making mids and treble better....also you change the acoustics of the room by evening out the "bumpy" low end. Add the sub...or 2...or 3 | |
| VPI acrylic vs. aluminum To me its not a tradeoff. The Classic platter is a "WOW" definite improvement to the accrylic. I had both and I tell it how I hear it. You might also want to give the mag/lev platter a try. | |
