VPI Classic 4, any one have it?

I just got the new ceramic platter... With the first listen, it sounds better than the classic platter. CSNG1....make sure your new 4 has the ceramic platter instead of the aluminum one.

I understand the ceramic platter was developed for the upcoming direct drive table. So far I hear more clarity with less "tizzies" on the high frequencies...but I still have to listen further....just got it a few hours ago.

I just posted my take on the ceramic platter, but it hasn't been published yet. My very strong advice is to get the Ceramic platter...it is very clearly better than the Classic...and not by a little.

Bifwynne....no idea why it would sound better, only that it does.

Csng1....before I would get any other arm, I would listen to the 3D VPI and make a sound choice.

I have posted a message about my 3D arm, but it hasn't yet been published. It is quite long and maybe the powers that be are checking my facts...anyway....if you are about to buy a 3D....WAIT....read my post when it gets published. Right now, the cables are breaking in. I will tell you the sound is a definite upgrade to the 10inch metal VPI. I haven't heard the new TriPlanar, but can tell you that there is magic in the 3D.
