| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. "what cartridge and arm do you have on your Classic?" skyscraper - presently using a $2 Kiseki Blue.

| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. "dealer selling me the Fatboy will be doing the installation and setup once the new Lyra Kleos arrives, so I’m in luck there." skyscraper- You may want to make note of what alignment method dealer is using, along with brand protractor for refer... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Mahgister- Ostad Elahi is new to me. First thing that comes to mind- "steam of consciousness" listening. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. bdp24- Albert Lee is in otherworldly club of guitarists. He always shows something in his playing that is mind blowing-at least to me. I also vote Vince Gill as a heck of a player. He can pull off some Telecaster hot rodding when he wants to. ... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. Anyone who is a guitar player or plays an instrument should be laughing at some of these post. It's funny how "cultural appropriation" is a popular thing to squeeze into threads. It's just a thread about the "value" of EC Rolex. "But th... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. " You could have Clapton’s playing ability if you just bought a guitar and practiced with marginal diligence. I would guess the average person hits Clapton-level ability after about a year from starting from scratch. There’s nothing special abou... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. "You guys are aware he is a culturally-appropriating, virulent racist, right?" tylermunns- No need for "woke" commentary. There are plenty of forums for that. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. tomcy6- Ralph had one heck of learning experience- Too bad Ralph didn't have the drive to stay with the guitar. He possibly could have developed into a decent player. Lessons equal to that would cost a fortune! His posture was pretty convincing... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. We are gonna be on this planet only once(depending on you beliefs.) You deserve getting what you want. Enjoy the beautiful music once it's setup. Looks like a very simple installation. Get a decent jig if you don't already have one. There ar... | |
| Tom Jones My mom was one of the ladies that had it for Tom. Although I haven’t heard it for 50+ years, I’m sure it would bring back fond memories of the big Grundig that played it. This is some interesting trivia. More on Chris Slade https://www.ultimat... | |
| Current Questions You’re at a crossroads- Simply enjoy the music or get TOO much information about what going on and learn how perfectly imperfect this hobby is. | |
| What about the floor? Don't forget the ceiling. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. "Ralph dug back into his classical guitar training to come up with something the Devil’s guy couldn’t best." tomcy6- Ralph is a good actor. He was able to learn how to ape the fingering on the fretboard and move his strumming hand in a convinci... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. "The problem with EC's playing from my perspective is I always seem to know which note comes next which for me makes him boring." mijostyn- I believe your intuition is reinforcing music harmony theory /science-why a certain note just sounds "ri... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. asctim- If it were me, unless it’s a ridiculous price, something like that IS worth restoring. I never get tired of watching this guys restorations. This one is minor to other projects posted on YT. Fascinating skill/trade |
