CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter
Mcbuddah, there is the standard inverted bearing for the Classic platter, which uses VPI super lube or white lithium grease. I had this platter, then upgraded to an inverted bearing with oil pumping bronze grooves in the platter, and I use a light...

Mel- I never said that non-inverted bearings will deteriorate in 6 months. Harry said the design of non-inverted bearings will want to move after 6 months. The bearings according to Harry are hardened to Rockwell 60 and are so tough that they are ...

I believe they call it precession, not bs.Yes, VPI made both inverted and non-inverted and could have made me either one. He recommended the inverted.Why are you so angry mel? there's no need for that here. 
CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter
Harry told me that he could make me a non-inverted bearing but did not recommend it, from an engineering standpoint, he said the non-inverted bearing will want to move after 6 months. The inverted bearing is more stable. 
CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter
It is pretty close Stringreen, but the Direct Drive is in a class of its own IMO. I've heard it on a few occasions. The Classic Platter fitted with the inverted oil-pumping bearing Harry which had made for me sounds even better than the standard C...

Audio Desk & it's service
I'm sorry to hear of your experience with this RCM Audioblazer. I bought my Audio Deske from Cable Co. and it's been working ok. I get concerned about reliability and future dealer/manufacturer support when I read stories like this, especially on ... 
Anyone using an HRS platform with VPI Scoutmaster?
Check out Symposium Acoustics. I use the Symposium Ultra under my Super Scoutmaster Ref. rim drive with excellent results. 
VPI 3-D tonearm
I have a Lyra Titan-i on my 10" 3D tonearm- sounds great! 
sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive
Lp2cd, unfortunately by your last comment you appear to have little or no idea of the costs involved in doing business, including R & D, testing, fabrication and manufacturing, marketing, advertising, and other direct and indirect costs of dev... 
Prima Luna Premium Pre
Upscaleaudio, I'm happy to hear Mystere is still in business, thanks for your post. PrimaLuna has gotten a lot more coverage in reviews and advertising than Mystere. I hope Mystere experiences the same level of popularity as PrimaLuna. Regarding y... 
sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive
That's correct, the sticker is just a part of the Counter Intuitive. The specialized part that Slowlearner noted is a precision designed counterweight which slides on the VPI counterweight that enables extremely fine adjustments for VTF and azimut... 
Prima Luna Premium Pre
Hi Upscaleaudio, glad you responded to this. I bought a Mystere CA-21 preamp from you a couple of years ago and am loving it- great sound, build quality, highly musical. I was wondering if Mystere will be sold again as they have been out of stock ...
