I've seen used HW's for $10k, but you'll have to be
on high alert for those deals.
HW40 would be my choice as an overall package-performance/aesthetic.
Technics better value?
I use a VPI Classic and I like traditional look of the HW.
Technics SL-1200GAE or VPI HW-40 or …?
Hello all!
I’m looking for my “reference” direct-drive turntable and am looking at these two usual suspects: the Technics SL-1200GAE or the VPI HW-40. However, I was wondering if the VPI is “worth” the more than triple the price of the GAE? Also, is the new motor Delta Sigma Drive technology Technics introduced in the new GR2 models worth waiting for should it (hopefully) trickle up to a G-model?
I’m happy to pay for performance should it be difference making, but as I’ve not auditioned the VPI (I have listened to it at several Capital Audio Fests numerous times), I wonder if the substantial price difference is warranted in real-world listening.
Thanks for any insights…Enjoy the music!
