New VPI Top Line Table


Has anyone seen or heard the new table that's replacing the current Hot Rod? Will the Hot Rod be upgradable? Wondering since I recently purchased the Hot Rod, only to discover today that it has apparently been replaced by a significantly better table.

Yes, I saw and heard the new HR-X table last Thursday at the show. Harry was very excited about the table. I doubt the older TNT's would be upgradeable - totally different plinth, platter, motor. The air suspension, SDS, JMW tonearm remain the same.

As for the sound, it was difficult to honestly make a comparison with the Hot Rod. Yes, it sounded great but so does the Hot Rod.

It is probably similar to purchasing a Mercedes Benz for example - this years model is gorgeous but of course a better car will replace it in a year or two.
Well, the factory says they would change the Hot Rod if you wanted, but they're playing around with the table still, I believe.
