| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter more important for a sound improvement is to get rid of the VPI mini feet. The table has to be solidly attached to a solid platform. The minifeet has a rubber gasket in it that does no good. Look at Bearpaws Vermontaudio.comThis is a huge improvement | |
| JMW 9 maybe likes to track carts lighter I doubt that the Dyna needs damping to improve it. Sure if the listener likes it like that ..fine, Too much damping closes in the sound. It is very easy to overdamp the VPI arm. Use only 1 small drop at a time, and listen to the changes. If the 1 ... | |

| soundsmith retip shelter 301? Rocoeeii...no need to on your first post, and as for the second. If the stylus needs relacement, the suspension system does too. | |
| soundsmith retip shelter 301? If you are happy I am happy, but to others reading this, understand it is no longer a Benz cartridge....does not sound or perform as a Benz cartridge. | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 804 Nautilus - Need Help The best amps are Audio Research and Ayre. They deliver accuracy. McIntosh is very pleasant but not accurate. | |
| JMW 9 maybe likes to track carts lighter How wrong you are. Best performance from a cartridge is when the sylus that's sitting in the groove is tracking at its optimum position. Something is wrong with your setup, and I am sure you can get better sound tracking the cartridge as it was de... | |
