VPI Classic - Now you have one......

For all who have had the Classic for a while now...what's it like to live with and is it what you expected it to be or more/ less?

The shield should work whether it is around the cartridge motor or the tt motor.

Any suggestions regarding one of the Sumiko cartridges such as the Blue Byrd or Black Bird instead of a Grado Sonata Reference? Thanks.
