| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. Huh, looks like this thread may not be fake? I got the vibe it is.Yeah, VPI turntables are everything negative the "experts" say in this thread and more. Terrible design all around.How many happy owners are there? And VPI has survived how long? Ce... | |
| There's always time for a little Jimi... bdp24- I remember admiring the sparkle Ludwigs at the music store I took guitar lessons.My older brother saw Jimi at Devonshire Downs. Being only 7, I was rockin the Chipmunks, and being confused by the weird sounds of the records he played-what w... | |
| LP made from a digital master recording... I have ONE digital recording on LP.Late 80's 1812(Sir Gerog Solti) on London.Also have the CD.Anyone have these 2 and compared? I would think if you had equal level playback systems, they should sound identical? I don't have the luxury.I'm all abo... | |

| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. 4G’s for whatever table, isn’t going to make the sound you’re after.Plan on spending at least half of that amount on a decent phonostage.Nice table and so-so phonostage is a downer.You can get by with a $ 500-1K MC cart=entry point to hear what th... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. Is that old guy on Decauter Blvd still selling overpriced used records?The place on Sahara and Paradise has cool stuff now and then.Back to your query..Table setup is a one time thing. Pops and noise? Buy better records, and clean them.A used VPI ... | |
| LP made from a digital master recording... Great question. Looking forward to reading some explanations and preferences. I think its purely a subjective call, but lets see the technical explanations for whatever is "better" | |
| Primaluna prologue premium integrated and magneplanar LRS I never understood those posts insisting the need for gigawatt, high current amps. For audio kicks, I thought about getting a pair of the LRS for my PL HP. Are they still at the introductory price-$650?A sub or two would make up for the LRS botto... | |
| Phono's $2100 to $2600 Sutherland N1-WOW! It must be serious piece. It better be, with a $8K MSRP!It's SS, so it will be lacking the "organic" tube vibe, but not in a bad way?What's the deal with the volume control being the Achilles heel on the PL?This is a first read... | |
| Phono's $2100 to $2600 pgastone-I don’t think you will experience buyers remorse with the Sutherland.Super quiet and precise performance, especially high volume when desired.If you do find a listing for the Foz, they are typically version1. I have the V2, which I rarely... | |
| Phono's $2100 to $2600 "Tablejockey- you are using a Fosgate right ?" pgastone-affirmative. They pop up now and then for cheap.This thread peaked my interest when I was shopping. I purchased mine when the V2 was introduced a year of so, later.https://forum.audiogon.com... | |

| Heavy Metal Anyone? I don't know for sure, but words from a person who doesn't or hasn't played a musical instrument.Just a silly, unenlightened comment.Back to Black Sabbath and Art Blakey on the table.Any system setup right, all music sounds good. | |
| What is this speaker cable connection? I'm calling a spade a spade |
