Hey. Just joined the forum after reviewing threads for sometime.
I know this is a subjective question but would appreciate y'alls thoughts on a purchase I'm planning.
I currently have an SME 20/2, which I purchased used about 14 years ago. It's been a great table, but I'm upgrading my whole system and am planning to purchase a much more substantial table.
I was planning to buy a SME 30/12 because I have been so content with my current table, but for some reason I'm also very drawn to the VPI classic direct, which is a bit less expensive as well.
Any opinions as to which of these I should buy? I listen primarily to rock, blues, some jazz.
Associated equipment is audio research ref 6 preamp, audio research ref 3 phono, Mark levinson 536 amps, magico s5 mkii speakers
Thanks!
Anthony
