| What direction is VPI headed? Testpilot....the salesman wanted more money from you...he has his own interest at heart...but that's why they call them salesmen. I have a Porsche sports car with many items that are very appropriate for the track - none of which I use to get fro... | |
| What direction is VPI headed? I have a VPI and would do it again...but in truth, their customer service now is not nearly as responsive as when Harry had it. I know its a bigger company, but they should not forget those that put them in that position. also, no product should... | |
| Preamp for a BAT VK-55. adapters will not improve the sound......You should choose BAT for best integration. | |

| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? Chakster...I have lots of older RCA's, Mercury's etc. that sound wonderful....I also have some digitally recorded LP's that also sound wonderful.

| Voodoo Audio Silverstream HDMI vs Purist Audio HDMI vs Wireworld Silver Starlight HDMI Dave knows what he's talking about. | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions Ron - I told you how to fix the problem. You seem not to be able to read or not wanting to fix it. Your Thorens is a good turntable, your table is not. The wood wedged between the wall and table is very much like the wall support. | |

| "Straight" talk chakster.... who told you that? ..just saw VandenHul...... this is not a hard and fast rule. Maybe for VdH, but not as a universal rule. Also, in regard to the arm used.... If the bearing is at a different angle than is the headshell/cartridg... | |
| Looks like a new Magnepan speaker is coming!!! I love Maggies.....except they don't last long. They self-delaminate after a few years....(5 or so) Maybe the brand new ones are using a different Dupont(?) product...I would hope. | |
| "Straight" talk The Foz is not self calibrating...there is a simple procedure. Mine always registers 0 to begin. If you can set azimuth by ear...have at it. I know mine is correct. The arm does have an offset, however, the arm moves up and down on the same pla... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Here's my advice.....if you already have a system that plays CD's do that. All the music you want to listen to is on CD. Hire a teacher and take violin, flute, sax etc. lessons. When you know how music works, you'll appreciate those CD's even mo... | |
| "Straight" talk you have to be nuts to readjust your arm for every or even for different records. This started out to be a caution for all to properly adjust azimuth, and how important this adjustment is on sound. I've said what I wanted - this line of posts i... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? If you do decide on a VPI 3D arm...also seriously consider the 2nd pivot modification. |
