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.

Hey, I too have the original,with SDS and the Black Diamond Racing pucks (made for the Aries). It sits on an inch of granite, suspended on inverse steel spikes. The 10.5 has a Clearaudio Victory MC. Great sound, great value in the used market. I paid $2K for it, about four years ago. Don't waste your time changing the feet.

I was hoping more people would be in agreement here. Everyone seems to have their own story.

Taters, it sounds like you wanted everyone to say the Classic 3 would be an awesome upgrade, to validate your purchase decision. Many don't see it that way, so what? It's your money, if you want to buy a Classic 3, go ahead and buy one.

If it's not worth the upgrade I'm not going to do it. It seems the dealers are the only ones telling me it would make a big difference.

Do yourself a favor and get away from the VPI upgraditis, audio nervosa stuff-- hopefully forever. If you want to make a change make it a real change.
