Listen. Just buy the VPI. I bought a lesser model for more, and am happy. The unipivots have a learning curve, for sure, but the curve applies to any arm in the future, so good education there.
No, wait....send me the info on this table so I can buy it.
Seriously, upgrade your cartridge first. Transducers make the most difference in any system. I strongly recommend SoundSmith. I had crackling in my system. Thought I damaged my Zephyr MIMC. Peter Lederman called me on a Sunday! to discuss my problem! Turns out it was too much gain from my phono pre. All good.
Understand that with a great cartridge, most ticks and pops ride under the music, not inside it.
I still listen to digital, streaming my own ripped CDs and from Qobuz. I get restless after a few minutes. I put on an LP, and am content.
