The VPI. I used one for several years and "upgraded" to a Clearaudio Matrix: wish I had the 16.5 back. It was bullet-proof. The NG is a little primative. I never "recontaminated", but then again, I usually cleaned each side before play.

I'm looking for a good quality RCM for about $500-$700. I've narrowed down my choices to the VPI HW-16.5 and the Nitty Gritty 1.5.
A friend is suggesting the Nitty Gritty due to the fact that the design of this unit minimizes the chances of "decontaminating" the cleaned side of the LP.
