Vpi Aries 1-3 difference between tables?

Hey not wanting to hijack this thread... but do folks think there is enough difference between the Aries I platter and the 1200$ "super platter" upgrade for the III to make it worth the change. I have an Aries I and had been contemplating the platter upgrade.

On the same lines... do folks think the plinth on the Aries III is an upgrade over the original Aries I

and lastly...

the JMW 10 -> 10.5 -> 10.5i what do folks think about that progression in terms of sound quality? Is the nordost rewire and VTA adjustment worth chasing from the 10.5?

Then of course the standard 300 rpm motor versus the motor with the built in flywheel that is offered as an Aries upgrade on the VPI site?...

I think those topics all fall in the realm of hte original question.. :-)

thanx much that's an interesting read...

Unfortunately he hasn't evidently had any experience with the topics i was asking about..

The "super platter" upgrade to the Aries III vs the original Aries I platter (i know the bearings are different, but don't know the sonic or physical differences)

The 10.5 -> 10.5i sonic differences

The Aries I vs Aries III plinth sonic differences.

The upgrades motor with flywheel...

I suppose a basic comparison between a fully tweeked Aries III and an Aries I with 10.5i would really be worth reading..

It was nice to read that he was a real believer in the Aries I.

I suppose that might be enough to stop my whining for a little while. :-)

Very good.. thanx much

i've been wrestling with what upgrades to make...if any...over my base Aries I / 10.5

Seemed like the tonearm upgrade was worth it
