VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus

unfortunately I will not have the table until friday now due to fedex home delivery trying to drop it off in the morning instead of the usual evening time.

I suspect the Well Tempered stuff is so interesting to us is because of its unique implementation of its workings.

Yes, only a genius could look at a golf ball and think "tonearm".

(I hope WT fans realize I am only joshing. No offense intended.)

I roughed in the setup for the WTA tonight and in my opinion it is already sounding better than the VPI Classic. that's not a knock on the VPI either, I actually really like my VPI. bass is definitely better and I seem to hear things I never heard before with the VPI. some of the hardware aspects of the WTA are not as good as the VPI though. I'll fine tune the setup tomorrow and do a lot more listening.

This is what I suspected you would hear. My WTA made short work of my Nottingham Spacedeck, which is also a very good table. The key is the amount of damping in the cup and how far down you suspend the ball. My preference is for almost touching the bottom of the cup.
