Gian, you once had a audio guru living in one wing of your house. Your wife must be a forgiving woman !
Vyger Atlantis - my new turntable :)
- Thread starter Audiophile Bill
- Start date
Merkel is no beautiqueen that is for sure. Trump was not smitten by her either !
I have re-read through this thread for the positive confirmation bias it provides having ordered an Atlantis. Sorry the thread has been dead for so long, lots of good chuckles too. Hopefully Miss Chau has love affair with Altlantis. As to how she’s gotten along with Tango, Gian, or Bonzo… better not to ask such things 
I don’t know Chau personally. She knows Tang and Gian well and has met Tang, so obviously thinks I am more charming. As to how she’s gotten along with Tango, Gian, or Bonzo… better not to ask such things
Or perhaps it shows that there is more to this than one might think !
Please elaborate, Bill gave up his VYEGER too, is there a British problem ?
Bill swapped his Atlantis to get the AER BD4 and Mayer 46 to go full DIY. He then put most of his funds in various horn drivers for his DIY journey, in a wood lathe, etc. From a funds perspective, at that time I knew Gian wanted to sell his Bergmann Sindre, which used is only 5 or 6k euro and provides a linear tracker at much lower price than Vyger, so Bill bought that to get some magic of the red sparrow while voicing his DIY speakers. The red sparrow did work on it but not the same everything as Vyger, but for the money sufficed for the objective of focusing on the DIY.
Later when the opportunity came he traded in the Mayer 46 for the Pnoe horn. So now he has the Pnoe with AER BD4, and the Mayer 10y preamp, but not much else from the Vyger RS Mayer 46 system he (and I) would like to have. If you give him whatever, 50 or 75k, he will add those in. But the British problem is we are not Mike or Tang, and cannot get objects we desire with one big bang. We consider hifi seriously expensive once it crosses 5k or 10k, no matter what the sonics. He also has to spend on expanding his room (garden shed due this year), and get a good amp. It is a multi year journey. The good thing is he knows the end state, so he is not concerned, what he experiments with now is just fun at a much lower price, such as different SETs.
If you did give me, instead of one your wives, a million, I would put it first in Vyger RS Mayer 10y/46 Pnoe AER BD5, and rest into records or for another dual FLH speaker like Altec 817 with a restored idler and Dava, and suitable amp, and then records. Won't use all the funds for other gear.

I am not in the habit of breaking confidences , suffice it to say that if there is a problem it isnt with the new generation Indian or Atlantic
turntables and the all newly , designed from scratch , Titan controller which are now being manufactured to even tighter tolerances since the new part owner Björn Östen got on board .
Perhaps you might ask some of the most recent acquirers of VYGER Viz the two Bob’s ( Rhapsody ) Aviad (Byrdparis) what they think of their machines.
Addendum : I was just editing to add that re acquiring VYGER is very much in Bill‘s future plans , however I see that Kedar has just covered that for you .
I am not going to ask VYGER dealers what they think of their TT's, i know what the answer is going to be !
Prima Facie naturally , however ask yourself … why would these guys involved in the upper tier of HiFi equipment sales only very recently take the brand on if they were as unreliable as Mr Sami claims ?I am not going to ask VYGER dealers what they think of their TT's, i know what the answer is going to be !

Dear Argonaut,
I am fairly certain that I questioned the repeatability of manufacture. I do not recall using the word reliable.
I answer with bias driven by a conflated set of experiences. I wish every owner and future owners the best of luck.
Whilst latibulating over COVID I was able to explore more thoughtfully the intricacies therein.
Kindest regards,G.

They and i have different goals, they want to sell new VYGERS at a high price if possible. I on the other hand want the prices, especially in the used market sector to go down, so i can afford one, but preferably a turntables that still works

Become Denmark distributor. The TT will look cool in those playboy pics
Which wasn’t the point I was making .being , that is a dealer operating within the upper strata of the High End audio retail market really going to take on a brand with as poor a rate of “frustrating issues” as @zerostargeneral is alluding to ?

It's not are they going to take on the brand, more important will be they keep it. New dealers have little experience with long time reliability too ! I am sure the profit margins are great. The only VYGER (a Indian) i have seen in real life, was in a Italien audioshop where i purchased a MBL 9011 amp. It was a beautiful boat anchor that could not be played because of mechanically / air problems, could have picket it up for under $10K
I take the liberty of commenting on your words which were absolutely clear, correct and unambiguous. I believe that only those who do not want to understand will continue not to do so. I congratulate you for the absolutely correct way in which you address the possible owners of the turntable in question, wishing them the best of luck...
