VPI turntable again......


Hi,
I make my judgement on any product based on observation and common scense. I never own a VPI turntable and I never will since I don't believe in their design. The VPI design just don't make scense to me.

Let see some of the VPI's design....like the tri-pulley design. It just don't make scense at all....just the bearing(the one which support the platter) already make a lot of noise and you can hear it !!! Now add three tiny pulley and spinning at high speed.....I really don't know how many rpm. At that small size....may be a 800 rpm !!!! And there are a total three high speed pulley spinning at 800 rpm....It is a truly noise make machine !!!! Where did the noise goes? It has to go somewhere...it won't just disappear into thin air....again you can hear more noise and it all come out from you speaker.

And another design is two motor driving one pully and then the turntable.....no two motor turn with 100% accuracy...there is always some variation in speed...Beside one motor is noisy enough, now add two. Double the noise output. Where did all the motor noise goes? Again, you can hear it from you speaker.

If I made someone angry in my earlier post....I apology. I hope this post help you to understand why I'm saying what I said.

Peace.............

Ya know BAMAFAN, you are really starting to TICK ME OFF!! Where do you get off making statements like "They [all turntables] all have some sort of compromise?

Have you ever heard my Close & Play? Better yet, have you ever heard my Close & Play with a Cowsils 45 or my special edition of Rick Dee's "Disco Duck?" I can assure you it has NO compromises! Sheeesh!
Vvrinc, Bamafan is realy a closet Notre Dame fan but he has issues that prevent him from admitting it publicly.
LOL!!!! Good one VVRINC!! It's when he starts hearin "Win One For the GIPPER! that he'll sell the whole shootin match and get an IPod!!

FYI - Bamafan and I are good friends so it is only natural that I give him crap!!
