One thing about the Aries and I assume other non-suspended VPI table, they like a very sturdy, coupled base to sit on. I used a sand-filled base for years. After a move I lost that and have the table on my equipment stand. I had to invest in a Ginko cloud platform to isolate the table from the room and stand.
VPI Turntable choices.
I am in the market again for a turntable. I am torn between the VPI HW-19Mk3 and the VPI Prime Scout. I have owned the Mk3 before, no modifications plain factory setup. I have missed it ever since I sold it for its attractive price and its ability to play vinyl so well.
My question is for those may have moved up to a Prime Scout from something like the HW-19Mk3, for the price difference, was the improvement worth the money or did you find the Mk3 comparable doing some possible upgrades?
Before I get a lot of other suggestions I really want to stick with VPI, I have always been pleased with their turntables and I know what to expect when purchasing one over the internet.
Thanks for the input
Dean
