Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b

@stereo5 , was it you that didn't like it or your wife and if it was you why did you buy a Prime after owning a Scout, they have a unipivot arm also right. The OPs question was either or or so I thought. Just sayin.

I would go with the Prime besides being a gorgeous table it is a current version and the 10 inch 3D arm is very easy to set up and maintain, with that said the peripheral ring and clamp should be part of your equation with either of the 3D/unipivot arms for best results. I have never had an issue with Lyra carts on any of my VPI unipivots. Enjoy the music

As bdp24 stated the Aries 1 is a great table, there is one here or on another sales site with an SME 5 arm thru a dealer, as you have the Scout already, I am guessing the unipivot might not be an issue for you though. Enjoy the music

@stereo5 , thanks for your response and I get where you are coming from, the unipivots are certainly not for everyone and it sounds like you and your wife have found your nirvana and playing a lot of vinyl and that ain't a bad thing. Enjoy the music.

Wow with all the hate for the 3D arm I should be able to buy one reasonably as I am a confident inspired owned now just need 1 more to mount another cart. Enjoy the music.
