| The Better Table? Cincy_bob.. yes...get rid of those feet and get the soft rubber ones.. I think they improved the sound of my VPI. Call Harry..he sent mine for free, and will probably do the same for you. Coming...is a new formulation for the ring around the drive... | |

| Anyone muffel a VPI 16.5 There is very little noise using a steam cleaner, and the results are better. | |
| Wilson Sophia II vs. Thiel CS3.7 I am using Vandersteen 5A's whith Ayre electronics. If you visit their website, Richard says that Ayre is very popular with their customers. The Vandy Quatro wood IS a better speaker...it has a different midrange driver, and a different crossover.... | |
| Rega Elys II cartridge: Is it worth the money?? I've owned lots of products built by high end audio manufacturers, among which is Rega. I have only good things to say about their products. They perform well, are cost effective, and have great durability. I would rank them near the top of truste... | |
| dead quiet Actually, Eldarford..yes. When a tuba plays a 60 Hz. tone, it is resonated on the box and in the string of the violin...that's why playing "in tune" is so important when playing in an orchestra... a tone that "rubs" against the harmonic tones of t... | |
| what is doing Arnie Nudell? The last thing I heard about Mr. Nudell was that he was very sick....I hope I'm wrong. | |

| Easy and simple, with great sound.....HELP If you could stretch your budget just a bit and get a VPI Scout and a high output Benz or Dynavektor cartridge, you'd really smile. | |
| Turntable lamp suggestions? If it were I, and you are talking about spindle oil, I would use spindle oil. There may be viscosity/additive issues that may or may not be good...oil is cheap in those amounts. | |
| The Better Table? Call VPI. They are intimately familiar with both of them, have heard them with a variety of cartridges, and are the best people to know the differences. I always found them very reliable in their assessments. I have a Superscout with rim drive and... | |
| dead quiet Atmasphere..Yes I know now, and that's what I was saying. With the slight hum gone(and no one could tell it was humming unless I brought it to their attention) the sound field had greater depth, air, clarity, etc. that we all like.Eldarford...I do... | |
