Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet
I am using Gingko Cloud 11L-B (for Scout/Scoutmaster 15x20.5) with excellent result. It comes with 5 balls which is optimal for 50 lbs mass which is perferct for the Classic (45 lbs) plus ring clamp. Bass response is deeper, tighter and midrange/h...

I imagine that different cartridge will require different amount of damping fluid, is that correct? This is going to make changing cartridge frequently a lot less fun :( 
Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet
Update on my VPI Classic, today, I removed damping fluid from the arm (it was placed there initially when my TT was set up by my local dealer). It was interesting. Without any damping fluid, the bass was not nearly as deep or powerful, ,not as bla...

I got the Classic with its standard arm. My local dealer told me that they can get the Valhalla wire and change it quite easily. However, if you want VTA on the fly, it is not an easy addon once you have the turntable as you will need a whole new ... 
Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet
I have my Classic now for a few months and it has been kind of frustrating for me a bit. I upgraded from an old Blue Note Piccolo to Classics with ring clamp and when taken each aspect of the sound, VPI seems to be better in just about every categ...
