Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus

and vertical adjustment tower, Classic platter, and looks and sounds great!

Just a minor correction regarding the VPI Prime, while it was initially introduced at a special $3,500 price it has been $3,800 since the beginning of 2015.

I think $3,800 with tonearm is a reasonably priced rig. It's tough with analog. I have heard opinions on VPI Classic vs. Amadeus, and one dealer who had experience with VPI, Nottingham, and WTL. Its hard to draw a conclusion, because there's so many variables. Was cartridge the same, and then would that also hold true with a different cartridge. I would think the Prime would be easy to sell, plus have good resale value. I think that holds true with a standard Amadeus as well.

fjn04, yes, I have it pretty well tweaked. I am pretty happy with it. I am just wondering if more performance is avaiable now for about the same money.
I also have a Thorens TD124 which provides a nice change. I would like a turntable which provides the best of both. I thought maybe a high mass table might do that.
