Even the "entry level" model looks like you shouldn't have anything LE$$ than an entry level Lyra,Koetsu etc cartridge, along with a proper phonstage. No cheaping out.Nice looking stuff. Maybe nicer than some of those custom Garrard?Having one of ...

samzx12-based on your profile, no standalone phonstage? I "get" wanting to hear your cart in its best light. I just make sure all adjustable parameters are checked and play the BEST LP's I can find. It works.Good luck with your search for the cart...

"I purchased a VPI Classic"samzy12-I have a  Classic. What's the roadblock to you setting it up? There isn't much other than basic steps. The jig gets the cart positioned, a scale for tracking force, eyeball the cart level and use your ears for fi...
