VPI Classic 3

And a follow-on question - for the money, is it that much better than the Classic 1?

Can't completely answer your Q, But FWIW, I own a Classic 1 and I upgraded the wand to a Classic 3 arm. As soon as the VPI factory reopens after recovering from Sandy, I will be upgrading the base to the new VTA on the fly version, which can handle the new heavy weight azimuth ring. So except for the base and feet, what else is there to do?

Hi Bifwynne,

I'm waiting for my new Classic 3. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that it's as good as everyone is saying.

I made a comparison between the classic 1 and classic 3 as soon as I upgraded,everything else was exactly the same,only turntable changed on this thread.

Captain, I read your post. I wonder out loud how much of your improvement related to the Classic 3 arm versus the Classic 3 plinth?? As I mentioned above, I upgraded the arm to the Classic 3. I totally agree with your comments about the Dynavector 20X2. I switched out my Soundsmith Zephyr for retipping and installed my backup DV 20X2. Uuuggg.
