| RE: Shipment Stopped by US Customs After some negative experiences on having audio goods shipped from Canada to the US I stopped buying unless the seller could deliver to a border UPS outlet. I did this for customs, shipping cost and insurance coverage. So, I suggest that you ask y... | |
| Blu ray upgrade? Yes, by buying an oppo 95. | |
| going from older shure cart to? Stick to the newer version of the 97, as I think you will be disappointed in spending about $150 for something else. I have two tt's, one is loaded with a $2K Clearaudio and its platform is a VPI Aries. The other is a Denon 47F which I rotate a nu... | |

| Best Platter Material You would think that Harry would have settled the matter, after 30 years. Harry keeps changing VPI materials, but that is only because of the need to keep selling stuff. I am sure he figured it out years ago but would never admit so. Years ago Har... | |
| VPI Rim Drive vibrations Just face it, the design is flawed, and Harry often admits it. Harry is marketing smart and knows the following will buy any 'change' that keeps product moving. Don't get me wrong, VPI basic units are outstanding, I own an Aries I. Just don't buy ... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I have some Cayin/VAS amps and pre amps, all of which sound great, high reliable and a great value. The equipment is all classic design units, just built in China. | |
| Heard the new Miles releases on MoFi SACD? Best to wait for the Blu Ray edition. | |
| Speaker stand question 'moon gel', which is a drummers tweak available from most of the musicians gear stores. Very inexpensive and works wonders. |
