The complaints about the VPI HR-X are fairly standard: it lacks anti-skating; it has too many motors; it has a lowmass acrylic platter; it has too big a plinth; unipivot arms are deleterious; and the air bladders don't screen out vibrations effectively. These complaints are made ad nauseam. The only properly machined table is the SME 30.
Yet I have the VPI and it sounds wonderful. So who, or what, are you gonna believe?
