Thanks for the responses, I really like the classic vpi sound, I tried some of the newer models and they sound to "bright", probably has something to do with my ribbon tweeters more than the table.
Its also the reason I'm a fan of Grado moving iron cartridges and have used them very happily with this table. I tried a rega (but not the 9) and didn't care for it. Even living in the music capitol of Austin its hard to find anyone that has tables to demo. I'm just not ready to dump my 4000 lps and just love the Acoustic sounds 45 lps I have.
