VPI Classic 1 tone arm swap help needed
While the Classic chassis isn't ideal for chasing next level sound, I think it's a "good enough" foundation as a fun,DIY project. Just like goofing around with an older Rega, but a little closer to $eroiou$ performance? Just my ears-heard plenty... 
Tergikleen or AIVS formula 15?
2 Spin Cleans AND a Degritter?  You must be a bin diver, finding those grungy, undesirable gems? I do the same thing, except pass on those that would warrant such effort.  A drop in the Degritter and be done with it, is what I would expect.  Be...

The top 3 polarizing/contentious have now been mentioned in the thread. Linn, Rega and VPI. Hopefully, the OP follows his ears/wallet to his "Goldilocks" table. Just don't cheap out on the cart and phonostage!

Tone Arm Lifter
repeluso- 1300G looks like it may be the one I may consider for a reasonably priced DD. I will be looking for your comments on performance. The only thing I see concerning is the possibility of that short spindle not allowing for a reflex type ...
