Hi Davey
i have classic 1, i do not have a chance to hear the Classic4, but the review by Roy Gregory have me decided to get Classic 4 instead of Clearaudio Master ref. and HRX.
i am hoping to get the 3D tonearm. They said that 3D tonearm is the best VPI have ever produce, so is better than 12.7"arm.
and Classic 4 is so much cheaper than Clearaudio(used without arm is $12000)

Hi everyone
Vpi 3D printed tonearm is in production, in time for my classic 4, my dealer order a 12" 3D printed tonearm.
Did you read the report by Ianwhite on the 3D printed tonearm?

thanks

i have received my VPI Classic 4 but with 12.7 tonearm, so my comparing is with my previous classic 1, definitely there is a big jump on it. music is more involving, there is laying of instruments, bass is more body and musical, more depth, wider soundstage,better in everything, very details. instead of getting the 3D printed arm, i thought i could use this money for another arm like the tri planar or graham.
Do anyone know VTA adjustment, 1/10 of 1"( that is one mark equal how many lift by degree. or 1" movement equal how many degree changes. i am new to this VTA. According to Roy Gregory + - 2mark a lot of changes but i cannot hear the different.
i am very happy to have this upgrade. it comes with piano black finish, surface is very rough cannot be clean i don't know what materials to use for cleaning the top, maybe vacuum it.
Thanks.

It will be probably take another year for me to add another arm, there is a 12" tri planar arm, is very costly around $10,000.00
I am done upgrading, need to fine tune VTA.
Probably get a esoteric k-3 player to replace my Sony xa9000es.
