Upgrade LP12 or buy new VPI?

I currently have about 300 LPs. Also I don't have any floor issues so I should be OK there.

Cool! Have you had a chance to hear your Rhea? What pre-amp is it mated to?

I have had an Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso now for about one year and a Sondek LP12/Ittok LVII since 1983 with no regrets whatsoever. I could go on and on at length about the musical value of these choices, but I'll spare everyone that for now. Sufficed to say they are all outstanding.
Bryans, First, how much do you have to spend?
What does your Linn deck have done to it as far as upgrades, anything?
What tonearm do you have?
What is the deck sitting on?
Without knowing where you're at I would suggest getting the cirkus bearing upgrade, if you don't already have it. It is worth every penny sonically and will virtually eliminate any surface noise.
Let us know the whole story and we could better offer you our help and experience. Cheers!

R_F_sayles,
My LP12 has no upgrades and has the Ittok LVII. Deck is sitting on a LP stand attached to the wall. I am looking at the VPI players which retail under 8K new.
