VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus

With an Amadeus, I would deal with warped records by buying a Vinyl Flat.

Is any other WTA owners out there having the knot noise that Vortex mentions? Is there any option to relocate the power switch or have an external one since the rear switch would not work well with my wall shelf recessed into but not touching my audio cabinet.

I have no issues with the knot.

Not sure what you means about the power switch. Mine is on the top near the front.

Shakey

Have a Simplex, no knot noise here.

The Simplex does have the power toggle on the back, mounted with the rest of the electronics, but I believe the rest of the models have it upfront. I'm sure you could rewire an external toggle somewhere else, but perhaps you can look into whether the external DPS might have an on/off switch instead.

I guess I just have noisy knots. I've had 3 Amadeus, a multitude of knots, and they all make noise. it's not something you hear with music playing.

get a DPS and use that to control the power. it has a switch.
