| VPI Prime - How Often Do You Use the Adjustable VTA Base? So line contact stylus. Vta tower would be of great value to you if you have 2k albums. Treat yourself to the prime it's a great table and the 3d printed arm is amazing | |
| VPI Prime - How Often Do You Use the Adjustable VTA Base? I use it for every LP. Its a great feature and is critical for certain stylus types. I have a Shiabata shaped stylus that is very sensitive to small differences in a records thickness. Eliptical shapes are less critical from what I understand.... | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable Just got my 1 3/4 maple from butcher block acoustics for my VPI Prime Signature. I would say the soundstage benefited as well as the focus. I also noticed a smoothing of the vocals. | |

| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? Agree with bigbobbydmoney. The scout is a great value table but for 700 dollars more you get a super scout from Kevin Deal at upscale audio with about 3400 of upgrades. The vta on the fly base a jmw10 tonearm and the 20 pound classic platter as we... | |

| VPI Prime or Scout or ??? Sorry I corrected it to quintet bronze which is around 700 dollars VS cadenza so for less than the price of the prime you will have an almost prime with a great cartridge and its a warm sounding combo | |
