They closed the ticket on me. Lol I'm wondering if they have any more arms available the way they've been clearing them out.

Thanks yeah VPI is what I'm thinking about. I tried the purple thread lock and it seems to be holding, but obviously not a long term solution.

Yeah not the happiest. For a $1,200 table, that's less than two years old, I would've expected more. Oh well I'll give thread lock a try and see if it hold it long enough to buy a new table.

So MoFi got back to me in regards to my azimuth adjustment screw that keeps coming loose. They said I could send it in, and the whole arm would need to be replaced, which if out of warranty "could be quite costly". Or try purple or blue thread lock to see if that keeps it from coming loose...

So far it's been a fantastic choice. The treble started out pretty hot and running through Klipsch Forte IVs it was very pronounced. About 12 hours in now it's mellowing a bit on the treble side and the bass is becoming more pronounced. I'm running mine through a step up I built using two...

Decided to install an Audio Technica AT33Sa on my Studiodeck last weekend. Super happy so far compared to the Studiotracker cartridge it came with. Possibly the best money I've ever spent on an upgrade! Listening to things again and getting chills down my spine. Not an overly analytical...

Was thinking the same. :/

Sounds good! Thanks for the update! I'm awful at setting up cartridges, especially finicky ones, but fortunately there's a dealer close to me that will do the setup for a minimal amount when buying a new cartridge. Glad you found something you like! 😀

Sorry it took awhile to get back to you! I guess I never received a notification... Still liking it? I listened to a a couple of different cartridges over the summer that I really liked, though they were on a different table, but with a heavier weight arm. A Sumiko Starling and a Dynavector...

Haven't done a ton a music buying/listening this summer. It's been such a perfect summer for fly fishing in Wisconsin (cool temps and lot's of rain) I've been out on streams all summer long and buying new rods/reels, line, flies etc. I'll have to replace fishing with something else, once the...

Oh most definitely! I think I've listened to more vinyl the last few months than in the last few years. I've been revisiting a bunch of albums on this new system and discovering how much better they sound. Was listening to a live Chet Baker album recently and never noticed you can hear him...

Interesting! I'll have to check them out. Are they about the same price range?

I'm running Forte IVs with no subs. Some people use subs with them I think they have pretty good bass without them on most recordings. They're just a bit of a challenge to get placed correctly. They were probably the most finicky speaker I've ever owned when it came to placement. I was surprised...

Thanks! And yeah I'm so deep I'm halfway to China! Seriously though once I get a new cartridge I think I'll be satisfied for a bit. I found this thread looking for info on Grado Timbre series cartridges and if they play nice with the table. Seems others have had good luck so I may go that route...

Thanks! Best speakers I've ever owned! I didn't have a chance to listen to any beforehand so I wasn't quite sure what to expect other than what I had read on forums etc. Sure glad I did though! 👍
