VPI Classic - Now you have one......

Thanks Rockyboy for the info and advice. Interesting that VPI in their email response to me stated that the effective mass of the Classic tonearm is 11.2 grams. What was the source of your information?

Good point about the dustcover. I currently have the Scout and got a custom made acrylic cover ($99!) for it, but it rests on the plinth. It saves both the cost and the space. I believe I saw the same type of cover at my dealer's on the Classic from Ginko while it lasted (they have 4 Classics on backorder!).

Actusreus, do you have a picture of the cover you have? I want one for my Classic like that, low profile.

thx.

Mac, I can take a pic with my phone later today and forward it to you if you want (feel free to contact me privately). The cover is absolutely top quality and made perfectly to my specifications. The only downside to ordering custom is the wait time. But for a fraction of the price Ginko charges still worth it...

Regarding mass of the arm, pulled it from somewhere on the 'gon; but can't find it now. Sent an email to VPI asking for correct arm mass; I'll post their answer as soon as I get it.

Per Mike at VPI - mass of Classic arm is 11.6
