WHAT TURNTABLE?

Most people here remember my frustration with VPI.

I finally set up my Classic 3 Sig SE / 3D unipivot/ dual pivot mod/ ADS/ 3 belts and was really blown away. I had previously a SDS that was going bad and the STP was off from the factory. It’s now exceeding my expectations.

The arm is fiddly...made better with the dual pivot mod. I’m using my home made mat and a Stillpoints LP-1 with my Acutex 425 STR. You would not believe the musical/deep bass this little cart retrieves from the grooves.

Slaw, I agree regarding the Acutex carts. I have two, the LPM 415 STR, and the LPM 320 III STR, great cartridges, and very surprising, considering their small size and weight.

I also got sick and tired of the VPI wobble (Scout Signature), and built my own Garrard 401 with a Dynavector 501 arm, which is a delight after years with the JMW arm. Sounds fantastic, too.

Regards,
Dan

@islandmandan ,

Darn right. I'm comparing it (in my mind) to my Dyna D3 and it competes on par except with much better bass.

Just think, it cost $40 in the day?

Just buy a better phono stage  I use a TT that has JC Penny on it but the phono is all together something special.

Rega.
