Turntable dust covers
I have a VPI Superscoutmaster....the dust cover is so big and awkward, I simply never use it. 
Receiver recommendation
I just got a Denon X3100W.....love it. Easy to set up, does everything but shine your shoes.....and does it well. 
Cartridges and old man
..that's why what this country needs is more skilled craftsmen/women, not college grads who can't find jobs. 
Cartridges and old man
Stradivarius's greatest contribution to us, was not his instruments. I suspect there are none of his instruments that haven't been worked on by present day luthiers. What he did was to codify the measurements of stringed instruments, so that today... 
Suggestions for arm to replace VPI 12.7

Which feet for VPI Scout

Help me improve Rega P2
Why go through these expensive contortions.....you may be satisfied with the increased definition, cleaner lows, and midrange improvements by just putting the table on Cardas blocks. 
Help me improve Rega P2
Yes you can greatly improve that table by bypassing the factory feet. Put the table on 3 Cardas blocks, 3 same size cans you have in your pantry, etc. 
How good are recievers these days?
I just got a new Denon and am delighted with it. No the sound is not as good as my big system, but it is very enjoyable indeed. The TV picture is fabulous using Wireworld HDMI cables. With the 5.1 working, it delivers a big open sound that is very... 
Anti-cables Level 3 v. Acoustic Zen products
Cables sound different in different systems. In MY system, Cardas sounded awful, and yet in other systems they sound good. I am using Anti's with confidence, having had Purist, Kimber, Audioquest, and on and on. ...all top of the line editions of ... 
How do you roll? First LP on a new TT.
