after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help
Radambe...No, you just have to upgrade your digital gear. I have both a CD player and vinyl, and find pleasure in them both. The real bottom line is how the performance was recorded....playback will only give you what was recorded..good, or bad. 
VPI Classic 4, any one have it?
I understand the ceramic platter was developed for the upcoming direct drive table. So far I hear more clarity with less "tizzies" on the high frequencies...but I still have to listen further....just got it a few hours ago. 
Dynaudio C1 and voices
Xti16....its not a good idea to have your back up against a wall. You are getting resonance and the reverse wave back. I know sometimes the furniture and the wife demands it.....try a rug mounted on the back wall 
VPI Classic 4, any one have it?
I just got the new ceramic platter... With the first listen, it sounds better than the classic platter. CSNG1....make sure your new 4 has the ceramic platter instead of the aluminum one. 
A New Use for VPI Flattening Ring
I believe that Elizabeth got it right. I tried rocks, sand, can of tomatoes, a metal tray, etc.....they all changed the sound somewhat, however, the ring sounds the best. 
Jeff Rowland Capri S2

Should I purchase Anticable Level 2, or 3?
...and I find that Anti's are the best for MY system. All cables are system dependent...you really should listen to both to make your decision. They both have a money back guarantee. I've had nearly all permutations of the Anti-Cable series, and t... 
TW Raven AC or SME 20.12
Unless SME fixed the problem on their V, when I had mine, the only way to adjust azimuth is to shim one side or the other of the cartridge. I think this adjustment is an absolute necessity for proper playback. 
VPI CLASSIC 3 PLATTER
I don't know Wenol...the best metal polish I know of is Flitz. Before I use polish on mine, I would try a glass cleaner/spray. 
Anti-Cable Power Cables
Schipo....you don't know what you're talking about. Years ago Anti-Cables were magnet wire, but they are not now....you can even get silver cables. They are cutting edge. Check out their website/or talk to Paul. 
Question For VPI Super Scoutmaster Owners
Ptmconsulting......that's what Harry told me as well. ...very little resonance in the arm. Right now I'm awaiting the next upgrade to the Classic platter....its ceramic, which Harry says is a leap above the Classic platter, which is/was a leap abo... 
Question For VPI Super Scoutmaster Owners
I am one that has posted that the upgrade from the 9 inch to the 12 inch is a very small upgrade ...although I have am ordering the new 3D arm and will post my finding on that one. Regarding the Gingko dust cover....when you have settled on the ar...
