VPI Classic 4, any one have it?

Hey Dave, I just "hot-rodded" my Classic to a "2.5," compliments of Mike at VPI. Check my system description. The upgraded version sounds a little better than my old Classic 1 tonearm base, but measurable in tweaks. It does provide a nice convenience feature of VTA on the fly.

Stringreen, any idea why the ceramic platter would make a difference. I use a SS delrin clamp and flattening ring. Sound seems pretty good to me. I concede that using the black fiber mat tends to over damp the record, but I'm just a bit confused about the ceramic platter attributes. Please explain. Thanks. Bruce
