Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3

I currently have an original Vpi Aries and it works just fine. I was just thinking about upgrading tables and I have been looking at the Vpi classic 3. I'm wondering if this is worth the upgrade. I can get around 1800.00 for my table so I'm looking at spending about 4000.00 to get the classic 3.

Hey, I too have the original,with SDS and the Black Diamond Racing pucks (made for the Aries). It sits on an inch of granite, suspended on inverse steel spikes. The 10.5 has a Clearaudio Victory MC. Great sound, great value in the used market. I paid $2K for it, about four years ago. Don't waste your time changing the feet.

I agree, Harry is a fox, once he gets into your 'coup', he will take you to the poor house with upgraditis. Don't get me wrong, Harry makes great products. Just stick to the original and forget the upgrade band wagon. Harry is the master of 'product extension', truly a great 'marketer'. Watch for his new ultra sonic cleaning machine.
