VPI turntables

If you are going to achieve a significant improvement as has been claimed, I'd suggest there would have to something drastically wrong to get that level of benefit. At best you'd likely achieve a minor improvement.

Before you even considering upgrading, I'd recommend that all cables and interconnects should be the absolute best you can afford so you know are getting the best possible connection from the stylus, to each piece of equipment and finally onto your speakers. 

I know some folk maintain cables are merely cables and digital is simply 0's and 1's. Ignore them for they are ignorant of the details.

If you not completely happy with the unipivot, VPI has a 2nd pivot mod that I use...its about 100 dollars and is worth the cost and setup time.

I no longer have my VPI table, but +1 on the dual pivot mod.  Easy to do and no more wobbling.

When I sold my Prime, the dual pivot mod was not available.  I heard better sound from a friends HW19 MK IV with a Jelco arm.  With the same cartridge as mine, we listened to both his VPI and my Prime in my system.  My friends TT was the winner by a mile. We were both using a Dynavector DV 10X5 cartridge plugged into my Mac C2500 with cartridge loading on the fly.  Compared to my friends turntable, my Prime sounded like a cheap Project TT. I was a VPI fanboy for 20 years owning the HW 19 JR, Scout and Prime.  My Technics SL1200G is my last turntable as I am over 1000% satisfied. 

Thanks I'll definitely look into the dual pivot mod.

Also checking on Technics and if anyone else has a recommendation in the $4k range.
