Clearaudio TT2

I just upgraded to the TT1 MI and its a major improvement to theTT2. A very slight slope is needed to keep the arm tracking. The arm is far more stable and grounded compared to the TT2. I do find myself adjusting VTA on most LPs; a 5 to 7 degree turn is enough to make a big difference. I am using the current Goldfinger Statement. Note that this is the second generation TT1 where the arm is underneath the glass travel tube; the original TT1 has the arm above the glass travel tube. I suspect this change lowers the center of gravity of the tonearm. With this upgrade I added the Master Innovation stand which works better than having the table on an HRS platform.

Hi markhof56, thank you.
Information on the TT1 is rare. The reviews are ancient.
I appreciate your take.

I just read MF's review of the VYGER and it requires a slight slope as well.

MF’s review is of the first vyger but yes it requires a slight downward slope for the inward drift, that is your levelling is set when it has a minor inward drift

I appreciate that it was the initial effort.
The more I dig into it, the more impressive it becomes….and I’ve never seen one live, yet.
I think it’s probably true that if someone like Clearaudio or Acoustic Signature were to build what Pino is building, it would cost 2 to 3 x as much.
VYGER may be one of the best bargains in high end audio.
Ive been sharing ZD with my local friends. Good work. Thank you for that site.

I first heard Clearaudio Statement around 2006 at local distributor with top linear tracking arm and cartridge. I’m not impressed with the sound, nor other audiophile friends. I heard it again a couple of years back but with another arm. Better but still not impressive. I wouldn’t lust for neither turntable nor the arm. IMHO there are better alternatives for the fraction of it’s cost.
