Plinko the only stupid thing here is there is no question.
VPI 16.5 thoughts
A while back, I had a thread about buying a conditioner or a RCM. I bought a VPI 16.5 and it arrived yesterday. This had to be the stupidest question I have ever asked.
Although the motor didn't work and the turntable didn't turn, I did clean a couple of dirty lps and a couple Columbia six eye classical records - (in particular, a Bach organ record). Awesome! I cleaned a $1 copy of Billy Joel's 'The Stranger' bought at half price books. It now sounds on par with the SACD version. The Bach organ record exhibits way more air than I could have every imagined. etc. etc. etc...I guess I was never really able to remove the dirt with hand cleaning.
Music Direct is sending me a new one along with the return label which is a fair and proper way to handle things - I'm pleased with this kind of service. I will continue with this company for vinyl needs as good service needs to be rewarded. :-)
