| Primaluna Prologue Classic The Prologue Classic is essentially an upgraded Prologue 2. Plenty of positive reviews, do a search.I used a Prologue 2 for many trouble free years, and went the PL food chain to the Dialogue HP. The only possible negative no remote.PL build/qual... | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important #me too.It'a about time someone came forward!I always thought it was my poor hearing and possible lack of ability with my overpriced alignment jig.Perfect excuse to upgrade the table! | |

| VPI Scout 2 vs. Classic 1 vs MOFI ultradeck IMO, there isn’t a big deal handling a unipivot arm. You simply adopt a careful routine, and never RUSH things. It may appear to be strange, since the arm can flop around, but the cue is what keeps things in check.Cue lever ALWAYS up, position arm... | |
