Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades.

The time has come! Here and now. The venerable Thorens VN-150 (Vinyl nirvana gussied up) Is going to be replaced with a VPI classic 1. Vinyl Nirvana, I like that…
The available accessories and upgrades are being bandied about and I'm interested in which ones you more experienced VPI owners would recommend. The HRX center weight and dustcover are on my must-have list with these others as maybes:
HRX ring peripheral weight
HRX feet
SDS
3D tonearm

Look forward to your input and Enjoy the tunes!

Taters....you're right but make sure the Classic platter is spinning.

If you're using the Classic mat....no mat is required, needed, or wanted

the Aries always sounded bright to me. I thought for a while I had it set up poorly, bought the mirrored protractor for the arm, tried different cartridges.... It never sounded good in that system

From the day I got the Classic, it was money, just what I was looking for. Warm, huge bass, and crystal clear.

The Gingko platform focuses it even more.

macdadtexas, that is so interesting to me that you find it bright. If I had to make a list of things I don't like about it bright would not be on the list. It's amazing how people hear so differently.

Agreed Taters.....MacDad also likes the Gingko which absolutely ruined my turntable experience....got rid of it fast.
