Totally agree with Madfloyd and others here ,Jeffery of High Water Sound IS far and away THE best dealer experience that I have ever come across.Whether over the phone or by e-mail Jeffery is always easily reached and pleasant to speak with ,the m...

Ebm What did your new AC1 replace and which were the other tables you mention? 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
I'm convinced the Oracle will do low end well though it just wasn't there the couple of times I listened to it. I'll chalk that up to yet another audio dealer that doe's not know his product well nor set up.... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Sirspeedy, yes the Oracle Delphi IS an excellent table but after repeated listening I found it a little light in the bottom end for my tastes. The Oracle was one of the tables I gave seriuos consideration to over a year ago also it's a hell of a l... 
Vpi vs. TW Acustic
Sirspeedy,You have a long way to go to convince me that I made a poor decision on buying a Raven.When I bought my Raven One I wasn't influenced by any magazine review because there wasn't any, at lease here in North America.And here on Audiogon, a...

Possible to Compare the DV XV-1 & Grado Statement?

DarkmoebiusI wish I did buy that extra arm tube for my Phantom,for sure I would taken you up on your offer.My currant set up with a Mint arc protractor is I believe my best attempt yet. Too much efford, for me anyway, went into it, to undo it.Than...
