Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades.

The time has come! Here and now. The venerable Thorens VN-150 (Vinyl nirvana gussied up) Is going to be replaced with a VPI classic 1. Vinyl Nirvana, I like that…
The available accessories and upgrades are being bandied about and I'm interested in which ones you more experienced VPI owners would recommend. The HRX center weight and dustcover are on my must-have list with these others as maybes:
HRX ring peripheral weight
HRX feet
SDS
3D tonearm

Look forward to your input and Enjoy the tunes!

Get the speed control.

thanks for that. That's a pricey item, but I will look into it. I understand from reading that the speed is very stable on this table.

You did list it as one of your upgrade choices and it does make a nice difference. I would say that if you have a line conditioner that regenerates, like a PS Audio P500, maybe go with a different upgrade. If not, the quality of your AC will effect the speed even though they use a very good motor. I don't know of anyone that ever regretted buying one. Maybe your dealer can lend you one to try. Either way, you won't be disappointed with the Classic 1.

It's a great suggestion and I appreciated very much. I do have a very stable power, but will look into the SDS all the same.
