You are on to something with the 'get a used Aries' approach. Harry makes great products, always has. Are they good 'values'? Of course not, Harry is a marketing genius, constantly reinventing the wheel, increasing his bank balance. Nothing wrong with that. Is the Prime better then many of his earlier products? I doubt it. It is just a 'shinny new thing'. I have an Aries. Great sound. It was a great value being a used buy. I have 'heard' the Prime, and can't find it is 'better sound' to my ears. I am saving up for a Aston Martin, eat your heart out Harry.
How do you like your VPI Prime?
Now that the VPI Prime has shipped I was wondering if anyone might have an opinion first hand to share? The product has had its share of positive hype in the audio press. It's too rich for my blood but I'm hoping to find an old Aries some new Prime owner puts out to pasture.
