I just sold a Classic with a Denon 103 which I thought sounded quite good. Buy one of these an stick it in and listen for a while, cost is chump change compared to the others mentioned and you may like it; if not you have a back up or can resell it at little loss. I also use Musical Fidelity equipment and have found Denon [ for whom I am NOT a dealer] to be a good match. I use VDH TFU cables [dealer disclaimer] which I find to be a hell of a bargain; VERY close to the best available and relatively cheap. VDH is a serious company that does extensive research and manufactures its own wire, not some guy in a basement.
Cartridge for VPI Classic?
I just sold my VPI Scout to replace it with a VPI Classic.
My system is as follows :
Whest PS.30R Phono Amp
Musical Fidelity A5CR Pre Amp
2xMusical Fidelity A3CR Power Amps biamping
Proac D15
Nordost Red Dawn/SPM Interconnects/Speaker Cable (I may look to change these)
I like my system but I'm a bit disappointed with the slight harshness in the top end, especially in reproduction of sibilance which I would like a cartridge to handle well.
I'm considering the following:
Benz Glider SL
Benz Wood SL
Dynavector 17D3
Dynavector XX2 MKII
Soundsmith VPI Zephyr
Any others that I should consider?
Any advice/experiences?
