| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. You possibly could feel "set" for a good while until you feel comfortable making another considerable investment in a new table/arm. It will unquestionably be a big sonic upgrade on the stock arm. The VPI long haulers have used Lyra's pre 3d/gi... | |
| Will you hear the most beautiful music... "Honestly, that looks disgusting and I wouldn't pay a nickel for it. It's nearly all fat!" roxy54- Just like a speaker/amp setup, not for everyone. But you must experience Wagyu if you ever have the opportunity. It's all about the marbling. A5(t... | |

| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? skyscraper- I REALLY enjoy my VPI Classic. Wouldn't have kept it if I felt I wasn't hearing at least a good chunk of what I hear in a super table. Setup is paramount. That said, my thinking is maximize my cart choices in the $1-2k price point(j... | |
