What's next after Clearaudio Concept ?

Hey I just saw an RP8 at a dealer but unfortunately did not have time to stick around and audition it. I will say i was mildly surprised with the construction and materials used for it. The plinth is made of some black foam substance sanwiched between a layer of some sort of composite plastic. I would say engineered for some type of space age vibration dampening.Very lightweight as opposed to the more solid and robust construction of the VPI classic 2. I must say I would favour the VPI for the construction aspect but who knows, its all in what you hear. Love to hear your feedback on the RP8 listening tests.!!!

What do you guys think about a Nottingham Hyperspace.

Can get my hands on a mint condition one for around $2800, but the kicker is that it does not come with a tone arm, which might be a grand more.

That extra grand is giving me a pause. But have heard so many good things about the hyperspace.

Try the Clearaudio Ovation as well.

What's next after Clearaudio Concept ?

Try this:

Take your significant other to a nice dinner with wine.

Then take a drink or two once you return home, you know some nice Mr.Daniels or other likeable juice.

Then put on your favorite record on your Concept.

It should sound as good if not better than your planned upgrade.

Try it ;)

Sonicbeauty, ha ha yes, you are right, it will sound far better.
I will take your suggestion whether I do an upgrade or not :)
