I recently purchased the Technics SL1200 GAE and sold my VPI Scout as fast as I could. This is my last stop TT. If there were any weaknesses with the original 1200 those problems have been solved. So if you have 4K to spend the SL1200G is available.
Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200
I've got upgraditis and am thinking about treating myself to a new audio component for Christmas. I currently have a Technics 1200 with a Denon 103R cartridge and a heavily modified Jolida JD9 phono stage. Yes it sounds fantastic but I don't know what I am missing with a VPI Classic or similar table. There isn't a place close to me where I can go for a demo.
My question is for you experts - would there be a substantial sound improvement with a VPI Classic or Classic 2 table if I were to invest the $4,000 in comparison to my Technics 1200? Would it take the sound to a higher level? (which is something that I am looking for). I don't really care about aesthetics or bragging rights but what I do care about is performance and functionality.
