Made the call, VPI Prime


Took so long to decide, but at last I ordered the Prime with a Cadenza Blue cart. I'm enthusiastic about the table, hopeful about the cartridge. My cart options were narrowed by the 58db phono stage of my ARC SP20 preamp, but considering how long I took to choose, maybe it's good I didn't have a wider range of options.

When I assembled this system (ProAc and Audio Research) last year I intended an analog-friendly synergy. My hope now is the reported analytical coolness of Cadenza Blue balances well with all the tubes.

I'm loving my Prime with Ortofon Cadenza Bronze plus Phoenix Eagle PSU and Tach.

Think you'll be in vinyl heaven.
Be careful with a cover  and cats my ginko would slip off so quick if a cat jumped on it . I have a classic
Thanks, all. I'm jazzed.

oleschool, I believe it! I spend a lot of time staring at the audio rack thinking how I'll keep the furballs away from my table and cartridge.
