News

I flew down for a few days to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the grand opening of the new HiFi Buys store. Yesterday I conducted three vinyl-related seminars.

Today's events included a presentation by VPI's Mat Weisfeld of the new Avenger turntable, which, at this event made its dealer debut.

The big news though, was the new VAS moving coil cartridge, made in New Jersey. The new cartridge features a boron cantilever and outputs approximately .4mV. The bigger news is the $1500 price!

I heard it for a short time this evening and it sounded very promising. I didn't come down here expecting to report any news but in this analog business, especially at this time, there always seem to be surprised.

Another surprise is how many female audiophiles attended and how many of them were vinyl fanatics.
