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.

Okonrad....get in touch with the guy who makes them (forgot his name) Someplace in Vermont...anyway he'll guide you. I also tried his Terra Stones....didn't like them. Bearpaws are big brass cones that screw in with the same threads as the original VPI feet. Big difference for the better....if you don't like them send them back.

I had the original Aries with JMW 10 arm, and it is a great combination, but no match for the Classic 3. The 3 is faster, far more dynamic, much bigger stage, and better in just about every way....except price... PT

Plasmatech...sound like you had a platter other than the Classic one.
