| Phono Stage with Two Line-outs If I understand your requirements correctly, the new Musical Fidelity MX-VINL may very well meet your requirements precisely. It supports two separate switch-selectable phono inputs, one balanced (Mini-XLR/DIN) and one unbalanced (RCA), and also f... | |
| sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive OK, I did take a closer look, it's been a while, and the others are quite correct. It includes that plastic sleeve that goes over the counterweight. That must up the cost of production to at least $2.50, so it's rather less absurdly priced. It sti... | |
| sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive Yup. The SoundSmith Counter Intuitive works very well, and, like pretty much all things VPI, it's absurdly overpriced @ $50 for a 50ยข sticker. It should be a stock feature of the already overpriced VPI turntables. | |
| Spin Clean seems to add noise to records? I have both a Spin Clean and a Nitty Gritty. Both work fine and, while the Nitty Gritty may well do a somewhat better job overall, certainly the Spin Clean is more "economically efficient." Sliding the LP between the two cleaning pads on the Spin ... | |
| currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade @Islandmandan:My opinion is that most of the upgrades offered by VPI are overpriced.Now, ain't THAT the truth! | |
| currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade My experience as a long-time VPI Scout Signature owner strongly suggests that the most effective upgrade would not be a new TT, but rather a VPI SDS motor controller (highly worthwhile!). Assuming your speakers and amp(s) are top-of-the-line, othe... | |
| What is the best DAC under $3000 The "best" DAC under 3 kilobucks? If you can find it, quite possibly the new Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD-DAC @ $1600. Mytek has for years been one of the most respected names in professional studio ADCs and DACs. I use them myself. The unit is app... | |
| LP to CD format anyone ... I've been doing this for about 17 years now, and have gone from a simple consumer-grade setup to a full-on professional studio rig doing transfers & remasters for commercial release. Things I tell anyone is that there are few to no shortcuts, ... | |
| 24/192 Big Improvement Over 24/96???? Bifwynne, and the paper at the xiph link he gives, is precisely correct. Formats for playback at a bit depth & sample rate higher than 16/44.1 do not and can not sound *intrinsicly* one bit (pun intended) better to human hearing. In fact, they... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable But does it come with a dustcover? | |
| VPI Classic hum Sarcher30, I quite agree. As far as I'm concerned, it is unconscionable that a product as mature and pricy as a VPI turntable should have a "hum" problem. That problem should have been fully addressed years ago. Just as much as any other fundament... | |
| VPI Classic hum I'm a very occasional lurker at Audiogon, and I came upon this thread while looking into maybe upgrading from my VPI Scout Signature TT (with SDS speed control) to perhaps a Classic 3. As my handle suggests, I do studio quality LP to CD transfers ... |
