| Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200 ausioman2015-there is no "better" to your question. Subjective, and the only answer is to buy the Classic and return it if YOU don't feel it is an upgrade. I have a Classic, that was the upgrade from listening to Rega tables. Personally, I don't h... | |

| Confused along the journey--opinions please Jbhiller-With the Manely into the PL HP AND a LOMC, your search should be over. Of course, subjective. IMO, the Orto Black is a great cart, but it's a great MM cart. It may just have some traits of a MC.Many times I've suggested the Audio Technic... | |

You will have a VERY nice sounding system if you choose the HP.Your other 2 choices are great..but they’re SS, and simply won’t have the tube realism the HP has. Just as a tu... | |

| Soundsmith Zephyr MkIII, Boheme on VPI Classic 2 Companion I have a Classic 1. I wouldn't obsess over which cart is "right" on paper. Both will probably play fine with each possibly having subtle cues that differentiate themselves.Another cart in your price point is the Audio Technica ART 9.As you can see... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation It's the day before Thanksgiving, I'm in the office and everyone is pretending to be busy.Just thought I would add my vote for the AT ART9.Mine is 1.5 years old and it just plays beautiful music. I have owned other 1k carts. Forget the Benz, DV, G... | |
| Hello Tube Amplification--Goodbye Subwoofer jbhiller-A factor to consider is leaving your gear alone and pay attention to speaker/sub placement and room setup. Especially if your system is in a multipurpose room. The coffee table in front of your listening area, the windows on the side wall... | |
