Takes me back to Joe's Garage!
'With leather?'
'With 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.

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. |
