Can I use a Benz LP-S with vpi classic?

Hi guys,

As per title really. I am not sure whether the 10.5 classic arm has the mass for the cartridge or not? Please help.

Thanks

My dealer contacted Harry at VPI and he advised as you have. He said the the absolute sounds had reviewed the classic with the lps and said it was an awesome combo. Looking forward to this...

I am using a Benz LP with a 10.5 and am thinking of replacing it with the LPS. Harry said the LPS is a bit better because of the microridge stylus..it extracts a bit more from the record. They are both great with the 10.5
