Acoustic Signature Vs VPI Prime Signature

Many thanks folks for wonderful feedbacks.

One area interested me in AS is their tonearms, more optional and far expensive than VPI top of the line fatboy, i assume with their top tonearms can deliver higher performance.

If the AS arm is what you like check out the Pure Fidelity Harmony which can be ordered thus equipped. I've got about two months on mine and recommend it very highly. Feel free to PM if you want to know more.

The new Acoustic Signature (AS) Neo turntables carry a 15 year warranty which is what pushed over the edge to get one (Hurricane). After much deliberation, I opted for the Kuzma 4Point9 tonearm instead of the AS-2000. The next level up from the AS-2000 is way too expensive. I wish that I could tell you how it sounds but I am waiting for delivery of a Hana Umami Red phono cartridge. Then I have get the cartridge set up, so this will take a while longer.

If you go AS, which I would for many reasons, do not get their tonearms. I bought a Typhoon for my home in the US, I liked it so much that when I came back to Spain, I went and listen to the Invictus Junior and Ascona. My partner is getting a Junior for  Xmas, with a Kuzma 4point and SAT CF1-9Ti tonearms.

The VTA and azimuth in the AS tonearms are rather rudimentary, kind of like antiskating in VPI, which I have and I am trying to sell becasue after 7 months I realized that VPI is not for my taste. 

PM if you want more info in my experience with AS in the USA, the dealer I bought it is great to work with.
