Acoustic Signature Vs VPI Prime Signature

Hello everyone.

Anyone compare SQ of these TT side by side, and what the differences found?

AS not much popular at least to me, but I found their design very interesting and well built, both turntable and tonearms.

I have been told AS and Clearaudio are best option for serious music listening. (but I really like your opinion about this).

I’m still using Pro-Ject 9.1, the SQ is wide, deep, big, deep black, and neutral.
Worth mention, the wow & flutter in Pro-ject pretty low (much low than VPI and AS), will this make RPM 10 and Xtension 12 top TT? (I also like know your opinion about this)

Now I’m looking for big jump TT.

I have my eye on Double X, Tornado, and Hurricane, but how good these TTs in term of reference SQ, and with verity of cartridges, or compare to VPI Signature?

Anyone knows?  Thanks!

If you go AS, which I would for many reasons, do not get their tonearms. I bought a Typhoon for my home in the US, I liked it so much that when I came back to Spain, I went and listen to the Invictus Junior and Ascona. My partner is getting a Junior for  Xmas, with a Kuzma 4point and SAT CF1-9Ti tonearms.

The VTA and azimuth in the AS tonearms are rather rudimentary, kind of like antiskating in VPI, which I have and I am trying to sell becasue after 7 months I realized that VPI is not for my taste. 

 

PM if you want more info in my experience with AS in the USA, the dealer I bought it is great to work with.
