VPI Scout 1.1 Belt-driven turntable Review

” The bass guitar in Morrissey’s ‘I’m Not Sorry’ [Attack Records] can often result in muddied bass that degenerates into boom. Thankfully the Scout casts aside the shortcomings presumed of unipivot tonearm designs by confronting the track’s bottom-end head-on and determinedly keeping everything in check. The resulting bass notes were convincingly low while sounding taut and free of unnatural overhang, adding to the track’s sense of power and pace.”

“While rock music was my staple LP diet with the Kuzma, I also had the chance to play with audiophile approved black disc, such as the M&K Super Sampler, which has everything in a test disc. Playing the Flamenco Fever sampler track Llorona the dynamics of the calypso in contrast to the floor stomping of the dancer is mind blowing. I’ve never quite heard such strong dynamics, stirring vocla emotion of the singing and the overall musicality of the whole presented like only the Stabi S can. Playing back the same track on my Linn, by comparison, is like listening to the music diluted off it’s dynamics and micro detailing, while that stirring vocal emotion is more pronounced and musicality maintained. It’s like an example of weather striped down coat of automotive paint, still semi glossy, but with lustre and depth lost.”

“Prospective buyers will then want to know that the Mani is not a piece of s(c)h(i)it. Far from it, it’s terrific. Do you honestly think Mike Moffat and Jason Stoddard would risk throwing away years of hard won respect on an entry-level phono stage? The Mani doesn’t disappoint one bit, charming with a sense of transparency and easeful-but-clean treble articulation.”
Music Hall Ikura LP player & Ortofon 2M Blue phono cartridge Review

” The Ikura is gorgeous, and a welcome departure from the boring-British-box look I’ve come to expect in this price range. Available painted gloss black or gloss white, it has an elegant, rounded, modern look, with an attractive design of swirling dots on its top surface. The dots remind Hall of the salmon roe typically served in sushi bars, hence the Japanese name: Ikura. The rounded dustcover is equally sexy.”

“The Sparta will not be a shock to anyone used to top flight vinyl playback—at least not with a casual listen. Broadly speaking, it is in line with other Class A analog rigs in terms of overall tone, stage dimensions, orchestral weight and dynamics. However, with longer exposure—for me, it only took a minute, but then I’m attuned to these things—you will see how it pushes all of these boundaries.”

“Starting with this pairing and the deck powered by the standard PSU we found the Brinkmann bringing to life things we’d previously been unaware of, with a sense of solidity, focus and scale only hinted at by cheaper designs.”

“They chose bamboo for its stiffness, its excellent rigidity and the ability to dampen vibration. Bamboo is also non-magnetic and therefore quieter. It is also eco-friendly being one of the ultimate renewable resource, with some variants capable of growing up to a meter every day”
