Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet


They were supposed to be shipping soon. Has anyone purchased this table yet?

Suteetat...You must experiment to get the correct damping in your arm. Listen very carefully with no damping, and when you're sure you know the sound, use 1 drop at a time in the bearing cup and listen again after each addition. You will hear the sound improve and then....one more drop, and the sound will become less good. Use a Q-tip to remove that last drop of oil, and you've got it. My advise is to recheck your arm...I have never had a "professional" do it absolutely right. Set up takes lots of patience, and care.
I imagine that different cartridge will require different amount of damping fluid, is that correct? This is going to make changing cartridge frequently a lot less fun :(

I'm a big fan of VPI's, I can't wait to get the classic.
I have a question for owners of the classic. What table/tables have you sold off because of the classic?
In other words, what tables did the classic beat?
I have a dumb question, where do I find directions on using the damping fluid? It's not with my manual, and I cannot find it on the VPI site. How does it work? The fluid came with the deck, but I need to understand exactly how it works?

thx.
