impressed, to say the very least. The unipivot is a poor design
because there is no stability on the axis that needs to be the most
stable. You need a long tight bearing to keep the arm in a
perpendicular arc.

As for the Harbeths-these are the small ones, and a regular old
speaker they are, but the price is quite high. Maybe the bigger ones
are more impressive, I hope so. My advice to the buyer of these both
was to send them back-but a dfferent arm for the VPI table and get new
speakers altogether.

I heartily disagree. The Naim ARO is a great-sounding arm, as is the
Immedia RPM. The Harbeth Monitor 30s, 40s and Compact 7s are among
the finest speakers I've heard.

I'm not nuts about the sound of VPI 'tables, though.
