I'm totally enjoying the "ancient" Classic 1. Can't satisfy everyone but everything I read on the Classic before I purchased was fantastic. Could care less what others think. Its a substantial turntable and looks great IMO.
VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick review of my experience with Brian's professional setup. In a nutshell highly recommended. Thought I had my Classic setup pretty well as I spent at least 3 hours and I have to say it was fun. My 1st setup by myself. However, after thinking about how much is invested why not take it a step further and let a professional dial it in. I have to admit I was amazed at the difference. Once the tonearm hit the record an immediate improvement was heard. The obvious difference was the overall balance and decay. Each instrument was noticeably more evident and overall clarity much improved. I won't go into a lot of audio mumbo jumbo but bottom line Brian's tools and software are a no brainer. He provides each measurement such as azimuth, system resonance and crosstalk just to name a few via charts and graphs with his software. Afterwards the results are emailed. In closure highly recommended and Brian will not leave until he is satisfied with the results.
