Picking up my Prime on Saturday

After a very nice phone conversation today with Johnny R at Audio Connections, we struck a deal on a VPI Prime. I am picking it up this Saturday and they are going to mount my ZU/Denon DL103 cartridge for me while I wait. That is what I call excellent customer relations and service. I am looking forward to meeting Johnny and touring his store. It’s a bit of a ride for me, but you know the things us audiophiles will do to get our next equipment fix. Wanted to share my enthusiasm.

Hopefully, he will have some time to give you some audition time.
I went last week and listened to Vandersteen Quatro's and 5CT's and ProAc's, the latter I had never heard before. Unfortunately, it got busy and I didn't get to hear the 7's. I also had to get back to my pups.

Stereo5-
im jealous I'm not upgrading my VPI Classic to the Prime. Consider the Soundsmith Counterintuitive for future cart tweaking. Easy VTF & azimuth.

Hopefully, you're plugging it into an equally competent phono stage?

Happy  listening!

Thanks guys.  Yes, the phono stage is in my Rogue RP5 preamp.  It's all tube and has settings for mc cartridge including impedance, output.  It sounds great with my Scout.
