should I be enjoying listening while keeping my promises? We will see. I'm trying to decide what to put on next after the (masterwork) I'm currently listening to. Hum???
So. today I've been evaluating in my mind..
The tonearm
The platter.
The VPI's 3D arm is/was fairly neutral. Or so I thought?
The Classic platter/bearing? Yes! Wait!. NO ...after hearing the Townshend platter made of plasticine, a material that mimicks a vinyl record. ...
( This does seem to make a BIG difference my friends!) I tried different clamps/weights on the Townshend, to no positive attribute. This is a GOOD thing!
I think the motor is not a high torque variety. When I barely apply force enough to clean the platter while it spins, it bogs down easily........
Up next... Neko Case "Canadian Amp" ... if I could only............
