same here. easily worth the $150 for a noticeable improvement.
VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D
I just installed mine and discovering my old records anew. I thought I knew everything there was to know on the original pressing of Fleetwood Mac's Rumers......but no - there's more. You immediately hear a more solid bass, but then the dynamics hit hard. It sounds like my amp is on steroids. More cleanliness, - everything is better. Very highly recommended.
