The Best $10,000.00 Table + Cartridge

Lots of bad feelings it appears around VPI... Despite feelings or irrational 'emotions', try putting a Dynavector 507 on an Aries 3 and then LISTEN to it...your feelings about overpriced, over advertised, and mid-fi performance will change most likely change...

Don't knock what you haven't heard... :)

Emailists,

If $10,000.00 is Jopi88's budget that's his budget. You coming off like a snob doesn't add any value to what he's trying to accomplish. I thought this was a forum where someone could come for help and/or insight. Maybe it's best you take your sleepy butt to bed and return with helpful answers instead of insults... From one New Yorker to another.

Jmo, you missed the point of Emailists' post. It was humor, and good humor, too. Unless your reply was also a joke, in which case...oh, never mind.

I'm with Kublakhan, also lusting for the Raven One.

Gang,

I accidentally deleted Option #2 from my original post. Here is the corrected post:

I can not tell you what to do, however, I can tell you what I would do:

Option #1:

Galibier Serac/Artisan Tonearm/Dynavector 17d3....$4,600
Loricraft PRC 3 RCM (Currently on sale)................$2,370
Art Audio Vinyl One................................................$2,400

Total = $9,370

Option #2 (If you already own a RCM and a phono stage):

Raven One........................................$5,500
Schoeder Model 2 Tonearm............~$2,600
Denon 103R.......................................$ 380

Total = $8,480

Good luck!

Hi Jopi88,
[ The Best $10,000 Table + cartridge ]

Your question leaves a few unanswered ones that need to be addressed.

Are you new to vinyl play back?

If not, do you already own a phonostage and tone arm?

If so , what make and model are they?

If not, come on back and explain exactly what your looking for.

I'm absolutely positive you will get some straight forward great advice from some of the members that have already replied to your post here.

As for me, the best $10,000 table and cartridge are the TW Raven One and the Dynavector DRT XV-1s.
