| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Pindac, thanks again. Raul, thanks for all your advice too, I’ll keep trying to sort out the wheat from the chaff, which is fun, like solving a puzzle, and hopefully not waste too much of my resources in the process. Tablejockey, thanks for read... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Lewm. The VPI Classic 2’s tonearm is composed of a number of interconnected platforms, arranged somewhat in the manner of how you might picture a split level house.is constructed. All the various platforms sit on a fair sized round disk attached t... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, very well could be. Pindac, sure did.recognize Rowan Atkinson .Used to watch him back in the eighties in Blackadder, which was hilarious. This has nothiing to do with audio, but I’d really like to see Rome and Florence. I was statio... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Mammothguy54, thanks for the tip. | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Pindac, that video was a scream. Thanks. Always good to be able to laugh at yourself. I was amazed how many changes had occurred in high end audio when I tried picking up an interest in it again after having not having purchased a single new compo... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Ghdrpentice, good luck getting to that last upgrade, certainly a worthy goal. VPI has some of that upgrade capability too as you know. Sounds like you put a lot of thought into your turntable choice and it’s paid off for you right down to having s... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Dover, thanks , I’ll check out your linked discussion straight away. Tablejockey, so true. I do hear what you’re sayiing, loud and clear. Thanks. I’m forewarned.. It is all too easy to get caught up in this stuff. Especially when enabled here and... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Tablejockey, enjoyable is what I’ll likely end up settling on rather than optimum performance. The turntable you linked to is certainly a nice one, but realistically out of the picture due to its’ price tag. I put a bundle into a whole new system ... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Badgerdms, so would it be wrong to think you don’t feel the Fatboy would be that much of an improvement over the current JMW 10.5i SE, as it’s limited by the VPI "house sound"? I’d be horrified if I spent $4500 on one and couldn’t hear a substanti... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Raul, thank you for an interesting suggestion on the Technics. I’ve taken a look at the links you provided, and watched the Fremer youtube video where Fremer compared the Technics to a $100,000 turntable in a side by side listening comparison. Als... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Gbg4blu, I did read a similar observation in one review abut the unipivot Fatboy having a cleaner midrange, versus a stronger base response with the gimbal version. Lyra recommends a gimbaled tonearm so i guess i’d have to be happy with the better... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. Thekong and stringreen- Thanks for your clarifications. Anybody have any thoughts on the Fatboy’s performance versus it’s peers? Love to hear some .of your thoughts on that. Why did you get your Fatboy if you have one. Mike | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Ghdprentice, thanks. I’d rather not risk the system I have now in any way by overreaching. It’s a miracle to have relatively high quality stereo equipment in the first place, even if it’s only at the low end of the high end, So I’m counting my ble... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Raul, you’re no doubt absolutely correct that a new platform may be the best way to go and would facilitate purchasing a higher quality or more economical tonearm to go with the Lyra Kleos. But you and Mijostyn are in the big leagues with this kin... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Than you Pindac for your interest and the link you have PMed. Some folks here, like you , have progressed father into this field than I’m ever likely to. Be that as it may, it’s a complicated hobby to enjoy, but not yet an avocation.. I’ll never r... |
