Recommendations for a tonearm upgrade on a VPI Classic 4 turntable

ha ha, fair enough.  I am a pensioner and my final straw was when my active cat jumped on my tone arm and destroyed the stylus on my Dynavector cartridge.

With my digital music, no pops, no clicks, no cleaning records, and no worries about what tonearm might garner a bit more resolution to my recordings.  No VTA or overhang adjustments to worry about or nor any need of step-up devices or phono preamps, I am done with all that.  For a guy with a mild case of OCD, I was very happy to step away from vinyl music reproduction and its myriad hassles.

God bless you vinyl devotees, carry on.  

qchone....how much of a pia is it .....you only do it once.   To make it easier if that's what you need is the Counterintuitive from Soundsmith.  Also, the 2nd VPI pivot dials in the azimuth and keeps it rock steady..  If indeed you need to....you can get the gimbal VPI arm

@qchorn,

I sympathize with you, I ditched my Prime for that exact reason. The arm was too fiddly! Every time I went to use it, I had to adjust the horizontal plane and screw with the side weights. I could never cue the record in the right spot. That unipivot arm is not for me. If they had the gimballed arm available for the Prime, I may have kept the table.

I have had two unipivots, and they suck! Except the Graham. Art Dudley loved the Naim.
