After a few tweaks, the VPI Classic Sig is playing better than ever. I think its due to some nice Nordost interconnects and power cables though.



But I Just have that TT fever.





Excellent. Fingers crossed Magnolia @Dallas can figure out a way to get a MT10 for you to listen to .... even better bring home for a week to really audition (fat chance I know). But if somehow you got one to try, betcha it doesn’t leave your house.

Default Update?

Likely not happening because he is not permitted to discuss it. LOL

I wish I hadn't seen this thread. I will now have to find a way to convince myself that I don't need to upgrade the tonearm on my MT-10.

Weird. Andrew starts this very intriguing project, shows us a bunch of pics, then disappears without further comment. Hmm...

I'm going to take it that he didn't find it to be a match made in heaven.
