2015 was the year I got my SOTA. 2016 is year of the VPI... I have to represent!

  Concur on the look of VPI and SOTA tables.  And nothing in audio looks as sexy as a turntable.
 
Looks like I'll have to take a good pic of my Michell GyroDec SE.

Well, yeah.

Just mounted a Soundsmith VPI Zephyr last week and I am super impressed.
 
Also noticed this on the new Melody Gardot Currency of Man Import:

Wow, that's a beautiful turntable. I like the retro look.

I'm a sucka for colored vinyl.  Nice job!

Well, yeah.

It'll be a few days.  I'm in the middle of reorganizing my whole music/computer room.

Looks just like the two MKII models we use in the radio studio from the top. I've always loved the way these units look.

Sweet.  How do you like the Blackbird?  Had my eye on that one a long time.

 

[bbophead]

I loves shiny things.

Hi

The Blackbird is a huge bargain even at its price of 1250.00. My audio is professionally
calibrated I have tried other cartridges over the years and I keep coming back to the BB.
I even owned the Sumiko Celebration 2 and while it's a superb cartridge, something was missing.
It did dig a touch deeper than the Bb but it lack the emotional connection that I get with the BB.
It is butter smooth yet impactful. Totally grainlesss and to ally engaging. I love it so much that
I bought a spare just in case. The synergy it has with the X tension is fantastic. I also had it mounted in a rpm-9.1
And it too sounded great I hope this helped.

Regards
Mike

It did, indeed.
 
The world of cartridges is so large and intriguing.  (Like headphones, only more so.)  A fella could get lost in it for a very long time.

Cartridges make headphones seem cheap!
