Most demanding passages for a turntable & system
I seem to remember that Shure (the cartridge manufacturer) had a torture test record. 
Please Help Ambient Bass Resonance
What is your turntable sitting on.?.... The more solid the supporting table the better and cleaner the sound. VPI's....all of them ....need a solid foundation to the center of the Earth. Also, if you have feet on your Classic that is the tradition... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Lewn....you're correct. My rim drive table MUST have a perfectly round platter, otherwise the out of roundness makes the turntable ride out and in to accommodate the different diameter of the platter and each point as it turns. The result is that ... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
I wouldn't exert much effort and/or money to change the Classic groove to non groove....If you have the itch that just doesn't go away, inquire if Harry would just exchange it for a modest fee. (yours would have to be refinished/manufactured to se... 
Anti cables Reference or Fusion Romance cables
I am using top of the line Anti's in my system with great satisfaction. My setup is very flat...that is to say, not bright or romantic. I feel that I wanted as neutral a system so that I needn't alter the sound with cables, etc. I feel that the An... 
What is your preference, Records or CDs?

Cardas Clear Sky Speaker Cables
Bo is absolutely correct. The only way you'll know what you like is to listen to the results.

Anti-Cables are solid core/minimum dielectric 
VPI Ceramic Platter
I can not tell you if the ceramic platter does or does not damp vibrations...all I know is what I hear. They guy next door hears an improvement, my wife does, and I do.....I don't care HOW it works, only that it does. The bad mouthing of VPI/Harry... 
Speaker cables: $3000 or $380. What do you get??
When I first got all my Ayre equipment, I naturally wired everything with Ayre cable (which is made and for all practicality Cardas cables). One day a friend came over to listen to my new system and brought a pair of Audioquest Sky cables which RE... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Sytax..What I meant was that the setup perameters have to be reset...VTF, Azimuth, leveling the turntable proper, etc. The Superplatter is WAY different in sound...stodgy, muffled, and (because I have the rim drive) makes the tonearm sway in sync ... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Pmotz.... I understand I got one of the first of the production...Harry was trying to iron out some manufacturing glitches he said. Although its not yet on the website, if you call or write to VPI, they will accommodate your request. I have a Supe... 
Any rock fans out there?
I come from the Fleetwood Mac era 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Hiendmuse....nope...inverted spindle, however, I couldn't use the one from the Classic ...something was different. I'm uncomfortable to publish a price...if you contact VPI, they'll tell you. 
VPI Classic 4, any one have it?
I just posted my take on the ceramic platter, but it hasn't been published yet. My very strong advice is to get the Ceramic platter...it is very clearly better than the Classic...and not by a little.
