Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense
First all, I have small room and square but fully treated. My journey with analog been few years and now 90% listen to records only.
Been chasing better sound for my analog end up with the system now sound very pleasing to listen to, no fatigue and smooth, as I want try other speaker kind a scare me if not suit to my room, hence I found better idea to get me other table.
best yet this bring my sound a one step up. Also change some phono stage for better synergy with same brand bring positive impact too.
so now if I wanna upgrade for better table(maybe) that will cost more and still use same cartridge (Dyna RUA) is it make sense ?
not really want try expensive cartridge, lesson learned hard way.
thanks 🙏
If a "better" table is your final destination, you could consider a "better" arm for the VPI base instead of the larger expenditure of both. As an owner of a Classic, I’m aware the VPI philosophy is far from true "high performance" but to my ear, it gets the message across competently when set up correctly, and I like the traditional look of the VPI Classic. A legit turntable tech can adapt a Kuzma, Triplanar or whatever, and you would have a significantly"better" setup. |
honeyooi- When checking out your profile, I overlooked you have a Basis 2500 also. Doesn't the Basis fill the void left by the Classic? "can you point me out tech who can make me adaptor for use different arm on the classic? " I'd look to the dealers in your area who might steer you to someone local.

"clarify your statement? " unreceivedogma- I'm sure your setup sounds good. As mentioned, I'm satisfied VPI user also. The OP and I have have similar level gear that subjectively plays at the 90% or so of "next level"/SOTA LP performance. The OP wants to get to the "next level" of LP playback. Uber, statement-blow your mind setups incorporate arms that are not unipivot. VPI gear is made to approach crazy uber level performance at price points easier on the wallet. There is a few Agon members with next level gear. Perhaps they and the technically qualified can elaborate on the unipivot weakness. SOTA level LP playback is of course the sum of the components.
