| 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... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? I thought this cartridge might be my final upgrade" syscraper, You're in the walltet opening zone. VPI Classic is a price point table. Putting a cart above $1-21K is questionable,IMO. Weakness of the arm design has been stated. Also, if you don'... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? skyscraper, Yes, about 10 years ago, I had the pleasure of just Peter and myself in his room at a show. He demoed several carts including the Voice on a VPI HRX with his bookshelves. I was impressed with what was heard on his little bookshelves ... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? skyscraper- Peter Ledermann himself demoed his carts on VPI's for years. SS cart's do have compliance options. All your choices are solid. More of "Goldilocks" choice and how it interacts with your phono stage. VP arms aren't the last thing i... | |

It's the Agon way... Address the question with some... | |
| Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos? Who "informed" you the SS Voice isn't compatible? All 3 choices will "work" on your arm. SS carts have been used on VPI's since their inception. | |

| The problem with streaming The ONLY problem with streaming is... depending on an internet connection. Otherwise, it's fa fantastic way to hear new music. I listen to music to escape the computer, though I do enjoy web browsing while listening to...RADIOWAVES. Still liste... | |
| N.P.I. What is it? I have always preferred the mono presentation. Particularly more convincing compared to stereo recordings that mix vocals on one channel and instruments on other. Prevalent on older releases, which the majority of my listening comprises of. List... | |

| Right-sizing the system / room treatment evangelist SF Amati-Your dealer steered you into nice speakers,and it looks like you're able to get them out in the room to breath. Some setups with great speakers appear to be compromised being in a living space with not much distance from front/side wall... | |
| Phono cables Ever try the ol component video cable-the 3 wire we all used for the VHS/ DVD player? Another good, cheap phono cable alternative. The shielding makes them quiet and perfect for phono cable. | |
