Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet

I have to agree with several of the responds.I do not carry the line ,i carry Acoustic Solid from Germany. However the Classic is probably the best effort on VPI's behalf once you consider the price.It has a wonderful sound and as one of the Goners points out does everyting well.I also like the look. A throw back to the old days of vinyl.As for depth of the stage i prefer the Acoustic Solid Wood referance but then again is 2 times the price and should sound better.Make sure the rest of you system is setup properly. Enjoy. Also check out the Acoustic Solid line.They are affordable and truly great tables.

Those that have heard the VPI Classic and believe that its price performance package betters the other higher VPI line brethen. With this kind of performance, and if to put it in a price point, would you say, this Classic TT should be priced at $3,000 -$5000 ? Or is the $2500 price tag given its built quality just about "right".

Without regard to price, it's the best table I have owned period. It's just so solid, no weaknesses. I would say that it is a statement table from VPI that will actually increase revenue substantially. Why buy any other table of theirs', or really anyone elses'?

Just because something costs more, doesn't make it better. I will use Jack Daniels bourbon as an example. There are much more expensive bourbons, but come on, almost anyone who likes bourbon will tell you that JD is one of the premiums. Maybe not their absolute favorite, or the "best" but always in the discussion.

There's a possibility that this Classic TT will steal sales from their more expensive line like the Scoutermaster, HRX and Aries line.
In other words, VPI may have shot their own feet with the Classic TT.
Or, perhaps, VPI is up to their sleeves in upgrading their higher model line.

Has anyone here gone from a Well Tempered to the VPI classic? If so, what would you say the major differences are in the table/arm combos?
