| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions The OP can see that recommendations and "whats wrong" are all over the place. I've heard countless uber setups with every form of "correct" setup.

| Anyone Still Using Zerodust "Magic eraser is an abrasive so I wouldn't go near a diamond stylus with it." True, but the action of simply dipping isn't enough to damage a diamond surface. | |
| Cabling Recommendations Go as far up as your budget will allow" willy-T- The OP has a 1/4 million dollar retail speaker set. I think the budget isn't a concern. | |
| How much is about the recording "When you finally hear a good direct-to-disk LP, you realize how mediocre most recorded music sounds. But there are almost no direct-to-disk LP’s which contain music you actually want to hear more than once, let alone love." bdp24 spot on as usua... | |
