VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus



Both of these turntables are priced very simular. Who out there has compared the two turntables? Which one did you like and why?

Thanks.

I have no issues with the knot.

Not sure what you means about the power switch. Mine is on the top near the front.

I recently replaced a Nott Spacedeck with an Amadeus. I thought about going with a new Aries, but I am glad I went this way instead.

The Amadeus is so much better than the Nott, it's almost laughable.

This is what I suspected you would hear. My WTA made short work of my Nottingham Spacedeck, which is also a very good table. The key is the amount of damping in the cup and how far down you suspend the ball. My preference is for almost touching the bottom of the cup.

No ring or clamp is recommended or necessary. I have a record that was unplayable on the first two tracks on both sides on my previous table. The WTA sails through this record like nobody's business.

"Nonetheless, I'm rather reluctant to believe that the WTA is better in such a profound way right out of the box, after just a few hours of listening"

Believe it. This table is the real deal.
