| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 Thought I would drop in to report i'm enjoying my second ART9 on my VPI.A little over a week old, and about a dozen album sides in. Perhaps lacking the slightest bit of upper end refinement of my prior $2K+ Kiseki had.The OCD/nervosa alignment ch... | |
| Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper? Give it to your granddaughter with a note asking her to keep it, and actually play it. It has more sentimental value than anything.It’s likely just a run of the mill press that may sound good. There are still a bazillion out there.A Brit mono is t... | |
| How Good Can My Vinyl Get? I like bstat's $2K suggestion.Maybe invest in one of those budget US cleaners down the road also.Schitt Mani is a winner for about $150. | |

| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" They’re likely better sounding than the "white van" speakers being sold right now in the Costco parking lot.I would like a pair if there were a vinyl faux veneer finish, for the office system.Edit-the price isn’t for the pair, only 1. Average pric... | |
| A Not So Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Tonearm.... Happy ending, Merry Christmas. | |
| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 Purely subjective. Neither is "better." SS does offer the affordable rebuild if you crash the stylus.Using a an ART9 for the second time on my VPI. THE SS may have an edge,since it physically is a lower mass assembly, making the magic. If they wer... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance VPI Prime as the backup? Not bad.I always struggled to hear an audible difference with the peripheral clamp. Maybe if one is using terribly warped records in the first place? The simple screw down clamp/rubber washer seems to do a pretty good job ... | |
| Christmas time, old friend comes by for a visit "The SS Moving Iron cartridges can be loaded at 100k Ohm if you want to hear something different."chakster- yes, my phonostage has a 100K setting, which didn't make a sonic difference with the SS, in my setup.

| to fb or not to fb... that is the ? andera-Unfortunately FB, like many concepts related to the internet have two sides. If someone is into that whole connecting outside of what Agon stands for- have at it. FB is still, and will always be a generational thing IMO.Not that it's a bad ... | |
| Christmas time, old friend comes by for a visit Not quite, guess the post may suggest that, but I state I was satisfied WITH the self imposed downgrade.I'm declaring to be overcome by lifelong audio mandess.Your response is perfect for useless pissing contests.OK?

| A suggestion for MM/MC cartridge manufacturers cakyol-I feel your frustration. Any real hifi enthusiast has lost $ crashing a nice cart.There isn’t a need for your request. I’m nearing 60, poor eyesight along with the other aging deficits.The secret to a DIY cart setup is patience. Slow, delib... | |
