Picking up my Prime on Saturday

After a very nice phone conversation today with Johnny R at Audio Connections, we struck a deal on a VPI Prime. I am picking it up this Saturday and they are going to mount my ZU/Denon DL103 cartridge for me while I wait. That is what I call excellent customer relations and service. I am looking forward to meeting Johnny and touring his store. It’s a bit of a ride for me, but you know the things us audiophiles will do to get our next equipment fix. Wanted to share my enthusiasm.

The speakers will not be in until May/June time frame.  It will be a long wait.

Congrats!
Let us know what you think when you finally have it set up in your room.


Sorry, by "it", I meant the VPI Prime.

Curious ... did John Rutan recommend the VPI Prime?

John saw a post I made regarding the Prime and he sent me a private message.  I wanted the Prime, having a Scout for 17 years with zero problems.

I picked up my Prime Saturday from Audio Connections.  First, I want to say Johnny R is one of the nicest guys I have ever met in audio.  Plus, His knowledge of music is excellent.  He kept putting on different tracks on various systems and I was quite impressed.  Every one of his working systems was very well set up, extracting the best sound from the equipment.  What really sticks in my mind was the Vandersteen 1c speakers with Belles components and a Rotel cd player.  It was a very modest system, but I was hearing amazing sound.

The tech set up my turntable perfectly, in that it took me less then 20 minutes at home to get it up and running.  listened to 3 albums today and I am quite impressed.  The Prime is a big and beautiful turntable.  Even the wife thinks it looks good.  Very happy now.
