Some new clocks have leather wrapped 'ovens'....they claim that in combination with graphene and aluminium the temperature is maintained in very stable way. Stable temp is critical for optimal clocking. This may be slightly off topic as you cannot actually see the leather 😎😎.
The value of embellishment?
Does adding a leather veneer to a $4K more than double value?

Couldn't resist asking the question. The claimed sonic improvements:
"The effect of the leather skin and hardened stainless steel is a sonic upgrade over a stock Prime, in terms of detail, bass extension, air, and resolution." Interesting. I thought it was arm/cart for the most part. I hear all those descriptors with my VPI. You get more.....uh, okay.
I have leather faced speakers-it works for the aesthetic. On the VPI- subjective like everything, but on a turntable plinth?
The footers look corny. This stuff is subjective of course, but it sure looks...
Not bashing VPI-I use one, and enjoy it for what it is. I'd love to own a HW40. No leather though, thanks.

"You must be very bored with your system in order to even think about starting this thread?" Slaw, always looking around for a good deal. If I could, I'd jump on this instead https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa3786-vpi-industries-prime-signature-turntables It's a fake veneer, but heck of a better table than one those things. |
