Dear Cashcamp: I can't say if there is quality performance differences between it because all the ones I have comes with the cooper/gold body.Siniy123 owns both and I hope he can put some " light " in the subject.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul.

Dear Jemm: If you go for the VPI up-grade then you could consider a VPI tonearm.here are some good options for a different tonearm:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtnrm&1267456794&/Rega-RB700 http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.p...
