    Incoming! The New Equipment Thread

    Definitely still in production. Not sure on distribution but we have a shop here that's a big Linn dealer. Differences are parts since it basically modular and virtually every single part can be upgraded. https://audioconceptsonline.com/linn/

    The VPI Turntable Thread

    Yes, that's the main sales point, plus 10 year warranty. It's for tweakers Matt Westfield said in the introduction speech that they will custom fit any arm if you send them an arm (presumably for a price, and some physical limitations) TBD, I don't think enough people have been able to hear...

    The only issue with that plan is that I won’t be able to hear anything over the sound of her aggressive eye rolling and deep sighs of annoyance.

    Upcoming experiment: Going to try my AQ Hurricane into the Sutherland LPS 20/20 tomorrow, and honestly hoping it's a low to no difference.

    In the realm of VPI and cartridges, they also mentioned removable head shells coming at some point.

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    If I was out that way I would absolutely see if they’d be willing to host for a day trip. Luckily LTA is coming to my neck of the woods for an audio show next month. Not an ideal demo space, but at least it’ll give me a rough idea and I can chat with them a little

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    I mean it’s not a trick. It’s the whole pitch of the forever series. The whole idea is that every part will be modular and upgradable. In the introduction presentation Weisfield talks about VPI even being willing to have custom armboards made for arms from other manufacturers. They are...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Is anyone familiar with the LTA z40+ integrated amp? I'm very curious as I read more about this one. Not sure if it would be a good fit in my system, but they have my attention.

    Suspended but not with springs. It's interesting but I would definitely wait until they release Forever Model 2, just to see what the price gap is and if they offer a type of 1.5 package that will maybe be a One with the arm or platter from the Two.

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    Feeling spendy huh? I can certainly help with that. Name a gear category and I'll suggest just the right things. If it's easier to wait until Night Mather can join, I'm willing to wait.

    MoFi UltraDeck / StudioDeck Owners and those interested

    If it’s going to require changing arms, I’d want to look into the potential of new arm options. But I agree, I’d likely move on from the table entirely. Very unfortunate that they won’t do much. Certainly enough of a turn off to not even consider their new $6k table.

    Golf?

    Late to the game here, and not a low cap player but just wanted to emphasize the power of in person lessons and wanted to share my experience with lessons. First thing I want to point out is even though the lesson(s) are expensive, you really don't need to book several consecutive lessons in...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    Paying for that brand name. But honestly I always think 60% of the original retail price is fair for well cared for used gear with original packaging. Comes in even less off retail when you factor in the buyer payed taxes and potentially shipping. That falls just below that standard, so I...

    Eh, all about budgets and existing gear. But if you have an existing DAC that you love... maybe ;)

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    Tread lightly. Everyone I know that started with an Aries Mini moved up to a Lumin unit within 18 months. It's a slippery slope.

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    That's also part of my justification. I know some people burn through carts every couple years, while others keep a line up of carts they rotate. I on the other hand, seem to have a stylus in a groove for about 6-10 hours per month (avg). And I've found I just don't tinker with gear once it's...

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    At least I've got that covered! This was kind of my thinking. I'm trying to justify paying a professional to do my install. I know I could do it, but honestly I just don't want to. Let someone else do the work and let me enjoy the fun. The car analogy is perfect actually. I could change my...

    Phono Cartridges - Your favorites and least favorites?

    What are people's thoughts on how a proper set up extends stylus life? Does getting it set up to a really precise level extend the life of the stylus?
