I agree that the phono gain and cartridge should be evaluated before picking a turntable. You should audition both tables using the same music sources. VPI in some setups appears darker sounding,however,some Cosmos tables are described as bright sounding. Only auditioning both tables in your system will tell you which one sounds right for your ears.
TNT 4 vs Cosmos III?
Which table is preferable - the VPI TNT IV or a SOTA Cosmos III? Using Graham 2.2 arm and ZYX 1000 R Airy S cartridge through CAT amplification?
