In Reply to: Upgrading from a Tabriz-Zi to a SME IV posted by ppopp on May 5, 2007 at 11:42:52:
I'm interested in upgrading my turntable/arm and I seek info on other's experience with different brands. Why did you apparently change from the GyroDec to the VPI Scout? How would you compare the differences and similarities? Any regrets?Thanks.
Ian

- By the way, even with VTL series 1 machines, you can replace 12AX7 tubes with 12AU7s to reduce gain/tube-rush.[nt] - Steve Cortez 08:17:34 05/06/07 (7)
