So the lubricant is probably cheap but how many platter upgrades is he going to come out with? How many new feet? If you own a VPI you can pretty much count on spending money for new upgrades every year because they "really improve" the sound of his tables. I know you don't have to do the upgrades but who among us can resist the temptation to buy an upgrade that "Harry says makes an audible difference"?
New update for VPI tables
Harry tells me there is a new magic lubricant for use in his tables that makes an audible difference. He's sending me some = I'll let you know.
