    My next Turntable!

    VPI has announced their 30th Anniversary turntable. The price looks good as does the table. I am anxious to read some reviews. Art Dudley has one and I look forward to his opinion. I have read that having the motor, spindle bearing and tonearm pivot in a line is good design so I have high hopes. Here is a link.

    As soon as some property sells the Rega might have a big brother. I would love to mount the Benz MC Gold in that rig and then into a new phono pre-amp. Oh well maybe something to look forward to one day.

    It should be quite good - Art has good taste and VPI has a good reputation - I like their cleaning machine a lot.

    As soon as the condo sells and I receive my 1/3 of the proceeds. Until then the trusty Rega will be spinning. Once I get the table the new phono preamp will be a must.

    Very nice, John. It's good to read about folks treating themselves right. You deserve it friend.
    So, I broke into the palace

    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    Here is another option. Clearaudio has this package deal with cartridge for $2,000.

    I would like to hear this turntable with the magnetic bearing system. Luckily with the economy being what it is I will have plenty of time to decide which ttable to choose.
