Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3


I currently have an original Vpi Aries and it works just fine. I was just thinking about upgrading tables and I have been looking at the Vpi classic 3. I'm wondering if this is worth the upgrade. I can get around 1800.00 for my table so I'm looking at spending about 4000.00 to get the classic 3.

Keep the original Aries. Heard now and Aries, Aries 3 and Classic 1 and Classic 2 compared head to head in same system with same cart. No contest - both Aries were superior in about every category. Newer not always better - especially with VPI.
I agree with Philb7777, it sounds like you are talking about a lateral move at best to me.

Interesting read here about the Aries 1, scroll down under Class B, and you will see that the writer feels it is the best of the Aries series, and superior to other more expensive VPI tables.
I have the original. If you don't already have one buy the SDS. Other than that I recommend the Black Diamond Racing pucks (made for the Aries) and fishing line.

I haven't heard the others and have no desire to upgrade. Spend your money on a new cart or a great phone preamp.
