WTF = Which Turntable Friday ? Premise: Some moron has offered you your choice of the tables pictured below for free. Free is a good price, so take one. VYGER Baltic M Rega RP-10 I put this WTF together on my lunch hour and did not have time to do any research beyond pricing and a quick read of reviews. The VYGER is $7,800 (with the SME 312 arm) and the Rega is $6,500. So, they are fairly close in cost. My guess is most folks who could afford to throw $6,500 at spinning records could just as easily toss $7,800. As for reviews, they were glowing. I'm going to base my decision on the most superficial of reasons, styling. Normally I prefer tables that look fairly traditional and have a dust cover, but in this case the styling of the VYGER appeals to me more. The Rega is perhaps a bit too understated. It looks like a glossy Project table. After I add a finger lift to the VYGER I’m sure we’ll get along just fine. So, which would you choose and for what reason? Have a great weekend everyone. Dean. reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it. |

we used to call women/girls that we deemed spacy (stupid) "vyger's". |
