Hi,
I think my VPI Classic 3 is due for an upgrade, I'm looking for obviously better sound, but also a tonearm that is much more precise. I will probably buy used, 2 arms are appealing, or easy cartridge swaps. I have extra VPI arm wands but truthfully don't swap them out much because getting the sound adjusted always takes longer than expected. I definitely like the hold down ring on the VPI but am also considering vacuum. I listen to Rock and its variants almost exclusively, so figure vocal, drum, bass, and guitar/piano on most lp's Figure go up to 20k retail. I'm looking at tables like Clear audio, Palmer, TW, Origin, Acoustic signature, Amazon GR etc. I honestly cant hear them all so thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Especially any comparisons to my current table. The table will be placed on a scuttle rack. I run Naim NAC52/NAP300DR/DV XV1T/Lamm lp2/Vivid Giya G3.
Thanks Jeff
