VPI Classic vs Avid Volvere SP


Hi,

I've been pretty happy with my VPI for a year or two but my dealer has a demo model of the Avid deck with RB301 arm at a decent price and my curiosity has been aroused.

Has anyone heard both these decks?
How do they compare?

Thanks in advance.

I cannot comment on the VPI, but I just moved to a Volvere from a Wilson-Benesch Circle and could not be more pleased. I am using the same arm/cart combo from the Circle (ACT 0.5 and Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood) so only the 'table has changed. The difference is remarkable--I really needed a suspended table in my room, which the Volvere delivers beautifully. The table is a lot quieter vis a vis surface noise and imaging is tighter. Classic lifting of the veil effect too.
