VPI Prime - How Often Do You Use the Adjustable VTA Base?


I have a Scout 1.1 with Soundsmith MIMC Star, and have been very pleased with it and am seriously considering upgrading to the Prime. I know it has a heavier platter and better arm, just curious as to how often owners of this table use the VTA. My lp collection is approaching 2,000 and I play regular lps, 180 gram, and 200 gram, new and old. Thank you for your time!

I use it for every LP.   Its a great feature and is critical for certain stylus types.  I have a Shiabata shaped stylus that is very sensitive to small differences in a records thickness.  Eliptical shapes are less critical from what I understand.  what cartridge are you using
So line contact stylus. Vta tower would be of great value to you if you have 2k albums. Treat yourself to the prime it's a great table and the 3d printed arm is amazing
