| ARC Ref mark2 vc Supratek Chardonnay I think you're comparing apples to oranges here as the Chardonnay retails for around $2,000 and the Reference Mark 2 at $10,000. However, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the Supratek outperformed the AR. The Ref Mk 2 is one of the most overhyped ... | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? Yes indeed so would I. I'll cross them off my short list. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? to jimpcn: I'm running a pair of Vandersteen 2W subs with my Quad 988's and it's a pretty sweet package. | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 Here's an opinion. Try decaf. BTW, look up metaphor and allusion. They're used correctly you dunce. | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 4yanx: My limp-wristed comment was a metaphor for laziness not meant to impugn the owners of the 16.5 or 17. I'm sure they are fine machines. I maintain that with a little elbow grease, good brushes, proper fluid, and vacuum you can have clean vin... | |
| VPI Scout Chazzbo: Thanks for your comments. I've seen the Machina Dynamica Promethean but haven't heard much about it. At full retail it's about $150 more than the Gingko Cloud 10. However, there is substantial discounting on the Gingko if you search a lit... | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 Anytime tough guy. | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 Wcheng: I agree. The Disc Doctor brushes and cleaning fluid are unbeatable. I use a Record Doctor II (basically a Nitty Gritty 1.0) to dry the records after a spraying with distilled water. I suppose if you're limp-wristed it's OK to spend $300-$5... | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 Try a VPI Scout, skip the 10X5 and get the Dynavector 20XH for under 2K new. Tough to beat that combination for the money. | |
| VPI Scout Anybody using the Gingko Cloud 10 isolation platform with their Scout? Just wondering. Gingko quotes HW's favorable comments in their ads. FYI, there is also a very nice looking dust cover that matches the isolation platform. | |
| VPI Scout Doc: Very tough to find a used SDS; most of them last only a few hours on Agon. Good luck and good listening. | |
| VPI Scout Doc: As long as you're in a spending mode :>) be sure to check out the SDS for your Scout; makes a significant improvement in an already sweet turntable IMO. | |
| VPI Scout Check out Walter at Underwood Hi Fi. Since the very favorable review in 1/04 Stereophile you may have to wait a bit to get one. At the price, I believe it is certainly one of the best values available. Furthermore, many folks say it is the best ph... | |
| VPI Scout I have a Scout with the Dynavector 20hX and just replaced my Creek phono stage with a Graham Slee Era Gold Mark V. I'm not sure the Creek is underrated; after all it's only a couple hundred bucks but you'll be stunned at how much detail you're mis... |
