Just tuning in here, @ablakey. That is an extremely lame response from MoFi. You get a lot of bang for your buck on what you get on their decks, but it's clear it's at the cost of poor service. VPI can get backed up at times as they're a family operation, but I can assure you their service will...

Ya, thus far I’ve bought every Wilco deluxe/box color version they’ve released. All have gotten multiple spins from me. They’re a joy. This is the first one I’ve paused at, honestly with the fundamentals being CD only, that’s a big reason, but I also get that they kind of have to exist on CD...

That one liner was so good it warranted posting an IG comment!

Highly recommended, mon!!

Ya, so the "fundamentals" are CD only, which I'm hoping are just a big wild textural journey with O'Rourke. I don't really do live shows on vinyl, and my OG KPG cut is one of the best sounding records I own, so I'm not sure I'm going for the LPs on this one after all. Hoping in a few months...

Saved this for later - loved their shop, great to still see him at shows. Seller who gets it.

Haha. I'll continue to treat this as the VPI thread - let's goooo! For me the tough thing is I'm big on cost to performance. I think I've said it before, but I got Turntable Lab's demo Cliffwood from their old 10th St showroom, at what today would be considered an absolute theft, so when I'm...

Holy smokes! Maybe I'm just totally unaware because I don't think anyone in the US distributes? What's the difference between a $7K LP12 and a $25K LP12??

Nick, are you spinning a Rega these days? I think I recall you saying you'd just had enough with a unipivot, yeah?

It does! Suspended plinth. @Mather it's 5 Gs. Just isn't in my ballpark at the moment. Maybe in retirement!! Hahaha (none of us will ever retire 😭)

I love them, for the record! My wife however HATES the way they look as our living room TT. I also thought about moving the StudioDeck in there and doing a direct drive for my office, but she hates the way the MoFi looks too. Haha. She very much goes for simple layout, woodgrain tables, so the...

Hey if they were still in production!

Someone here is using a Grado MCZ stylus, yeah? I recently swapped my Platinum3 off the Cliffwood back to the original VPI/Grado Green cart and put an MCZ on it. Grado claims 2000 hours on their woodies, but I've always found around 1000 that things start to get a little toothy. Perhaps a...

Awesome, glad it settled in. I have a feeling there was a batch that was extra cranky, and I ended up with one of those.

SOV?? Wow. Totally unaware!

I do order from him occasionally because as far as I know, it's the only place to get Analogue Productions titles with free shipping and available to discount, and I enjoy his weekly release videos, but to your point - so many of these YouTubers legit don't know what they're listening to, or...

That's what I like to hear. Will get my hands on one of these at some point! Was about to leave an angry comment on this video, but for now I'll just share it here: Neill King engineered, Rob Cavallo produced, and Jerry Finn mixed (on a Neve). It features absolutely smacking drum sounds to...

Yup, definitely issues, but I think you can say that about virtually every manufacturer. They're fickle devices, but I agree, MoFi isn't having the best track record. That said, at $1500 I think they've got the UD priced right now. The first StudioDeck I had was awful. The second one I bought...

Thanks, @Ghost ! Enjoy that Jules and that East River view! Wonderfully objective review for a brand new piece of gear. The TT market has definitely shifted, feels like a new wave with Technics really leading the way again. Perhaps this doesn't belong in this thread, but I visualize the...

@Lek just wanted to chime in and say the 1st gen of GR's tonearm lift was so bad that I returned it, it just totally affected the usability of the table for me. A quick Google yielded I wasn't the only person experiencing the issue. I know it seems like a small thing, perhaps it won't matter to...
