| Replacement Sonus Faber grille strings? I have heard that fabric stores carry silk strings close to the ones used by Sf. | |
| Outer Platter Rings I use the VPI brand with my Aries 3 turntable. It is self centering so no adapter required. I noticed an immediate improvement when compared to a screw down clamp only. Bass was more controlled and soundstage increased. | |
| Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr I am setting up my office system as I write this. I bought a pair of P3ESR used ($1200) and went with the Rega Brio-R, DAC-R, and Apollo-R (I got all three new for less than $2000). I had Mike at Audiophile Vibration Control build me a desktop s... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! SoundStageDirect.com carries VPI (among other brands, too) and do allow trade-ins. That is how I got my Aries 3; traded my Rega P9. | |

| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Rogue Cronus has high power because you have to run the snot out of the tubes which will cause premature replacement. IMHO, PrimaLuna, although less power, offers up a better audio experience than Rogue. A good entry level, no frills TT would be... | |

| Stringreen, how is the 3D tonearm doing? I bought my Aries 3 in Feb '15 with the 3D arm and had to purchase the SS CI separately. My 3D arm (a replacement from the original due to a bend in the arm) is the newest rendition and it does not have a fine adjustment on it. | |
| Olive are they in business anyone doing service? In business but do not care about previous customers. Your O4HD is toast since Olive has no spare parts for these units. I bought mine in 2012 and 14 months later the MB fried and Olive would not repair it but they sure tried to sell me one of t... | |
| THE most sonically dissappointing (lp) you own of great music? Crosby and Nash - "One Stoney Evening". My pressing is horrible, played once, never again. | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? The Herbies mat I have was on my Rega P9 previously - a mat made for the P9. I still have static somewhat in the winter but not as bad as without the mat. | |
| VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat? With my Aries 3 that has the Classic platter I am using a Herbie's mat and prefer it when using the Delrin/SS clamp included with the table. Without the mat the voices seemed to me to be dispersed and not focused. I recently purchased a ring cla... |
