any Charlie Brown Christmas? I know there is a remaster version around and I was thinking about picking it up.

so where the hell were you last week before I bought my Classic 2? I'm wondering... did VPI go with a sub platter configuration on the newer classic 2? the reason I ask is because I don't see a drive belt. how hard was the set up? I am sure I will be okay with my older C2... GL with SALE. this is a superb set up.

choices...

vast majority of it is source material related... harshness isn't inherent, efficiency and clarity are. that being said, as I moved up the chain of Klipsch, and made modifications, I found that old source material that was un-listenable had become somewhat enjoyable. At least until I found better source material... don't skip on your source material if you really are trying to achieve critical listening.

are you sure you're not merely a Spud?

why are they white?

I've seen these since they were listed... 535's and they wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes... 904's and I can think about it for a while.

or someone wanting to build a mono set up... like me.

indeed... I could not agree more. A think a major draw back is that these releases take a lot of WORK to produce... much like remastering a movie. not many albums are going to get that treatment, as a matter of fact there are only a handful at best that I would consider owning.

for a single that has been painted?

I just listened to two new releases of OLD albums I own in MULTIPLE formats. I just received (last night) Yes- Close to the Edge and The Yes Album in Blu ray Audio... I own both Albums, in Vinyl... I own both Albums on CD... I also Own Close to the Edge on Half Speed Master Vinyl and SACD... in addition I own The Yes Album on SACD. ALL OF THOSE FORMATS are no where near what Blu ray audio uncompressed has delivered... Pure Nirvana. The presence, the presentation, the separation are all light years ahead of any of those older formats. both those releases are stunning.

that Vega has superb specifications at an extremely attractive price. Specially when compared to something like the Wyred 2DSD SE @ $2500.

it's the db's at a given range that is more important.

Y your classic was for sale?

CII w/ on the fly VTA... One owner mint condition.

:facepalm: Loudness wars much

DSD is where we're all going in the short term because it allows for ongoing file format upgrades that are via software based instead of hardware based.

To go with the soundsmith... https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/laOZVwsxQaaM7kLxkOII+DSC_0588.JPG/convert?w=840&h=630&fit=max

There is interest... but not at fifty two hundred.

Parks audio budgie

some folks are simply just into "Loudness"... and therefore compressed dynamic range.

sub platter?

beautiful table... Love the 1000 arm! did the P9 come with a billet or composite sub platter?

looks strange... unless this is an older design

this is really the crux of the biscuit... convenience. I think you are going to be very surprised. the new master clock's that control jitter to the fractional pico seconds, dual DAC's, high end foil resistors all make for a VERY COMPETENT playback system... and even with out all that, the newer source material is really very exceptional... albeit limited in offering. I think that is where the bottle neck is at really... limited material offering.
