Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet
wow-thanks for sharing the experience kckennedy. That is quite something , so cheap and so much performance out of it competing with its older brethen the HRX.It looks like a winner going down the lane. 
What is the chain of importance in analog system ?
thanks for the input guys. So, if we are to put this in reality, maybe you guys can suggest some good combos to start with based on the theories and experiences you guys have.maybe a tt system w/ cart, table, arm, phono stage and tonearm cabling f...

What you guys think of:$1500-$2000 cart, $1900-$3000 (arm+table), $3000-$5000 phono stage 
Dyna 20XL and Shelter 501 II - fixed load ?
The shelter 501 II is very good indeed. They won't disappoint. 
possible vpi scout tweak?
i heard a few times a vpi scout on top of symposium platforms from the ultra to the cheaper sveltes. There seems to be a good synergy in these components.I would stay away from the granite, stone type of stuff, it kinda hardens the sound. 
VPI Classic---Denon 103 won't fit on arm??
Any other carts that would be problematic with this combo ? 
Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music
for $5,000 consider the harbeth shl5s. Those will not disappoint. 
Harbeth speaker stands
Skylan stands as well as Sound anchors works very nicely with harbeths. The skylan would be cheaper though.

SS integrated amp to drive Wilson audio sophia/WP7
I would add the Accuphase E450 or E550 to that list. 
Does anyone know about Mana tables?
good stuff but tricky to set-up.Do a search on the Naim forums.. 
Transfiguration cartridges with JMW 9 Sig.
Shelter 501 works quite well with the JMW 9 as well on the vpi scount.

Clearaudio Maestro or Shelter 501
I had a buddy who had Clearaudio champion with shelter 501 and aurum beta S cart (clearaudio).I felt that the clearaudio cart matched the clearaudio table better. The 501 sounded a bit too lightweight in that clearaudio table.Few years later, anot...
