Sorry, I can't follow
Think he is asking which version of the Vyger. Shane, the version currently is 4, and the previous one is much older, like 15 or so years, not sure. Bill or zerostargeneral might know

Hi Ron,
Back to that day I had arranged an appointment to listen to some turntables as I was looking to upgrade from Prime Signature. The dealer had set for me the Af3, and the Master Innovation (with the linear tracking Tonearm)
The AF3 was clearly better that the Clearaudio, however the sound was very clinical, not to mention some technical issues that had to be dealt there.
I tried hard to like this turntable but I was missing the vinyl’s organic sound. One can say that perhaps the amplifiers and phono used were not the proper (Burmester) but that was my experience

Cannot support you on the AF3 as I did not have it in my room, but using the Kuzma AirLine with an appropriate cart on my Micro Seiki 8000 double platter design sounds magical.
Many vinyl lovers do resist compressors not knowing how much potential they are giving away.
You're not suggesting $20 is too much for an LP? In the early 80's I was buying Polygram imports at a "good" price of $10 per LP. We've had real inflation of about 3-4 fold since then which means those LPs (when their were a lot more sold) would be 30-50 today. So $20 for a Blue Note is pretty low. We're just getting old and sounding like our grand-parents 40 years ago: "I remember when I could go to the movie and buy lunch for a quarter."Ron. You need to get out more. How many millennials are spending lots of $$ on hifi.
400K turntables I am afraid is obscene. How many of these hi end jewellery ( hifi) companies will be around in 5 or 10 years?
once us pensioners get too old to spend $$ on hifi, it will be over as we see it today. Same for vinyl.
Streaming is the present and future of hifi and video. that said, I will still enjoy my vinyl albums, just refuse to pay the obscene prices they are charging for $20 Blue Note albums.

$10 in 1983 is $25.38 today. But volume is low so it's not a surprise if they cost more.
We millennials would love to spend more money. But the economy is built around serving baby-boomers the cheapest stuff there is, while they cling onto the last decent jobs.
Depends what kind of dampening system you are using.On linear air bearings and bass, the dampening system will make a massive difference in its bass performance.
I worked in a TGI Fridays kitchen (no tips) for $5/hr while in college. That would been I needed 2 hrs of work for each 10 record. Today, that might be a $15/hr job (after the recent min wage increases in CA) which means up to $30 per record would be equivalent. Other states, folks only make about $10 per hour.I think about that, what percentage of $10 for an LP was it of someones income in 1980?
In the 60’s you bought a house that was 3x your income, and a car that was 1/3 your income. Try finding that today!
