I personally would recommend the VPI Scout or Prime depending on the budget, but I work with a dealer who sells a couple different brands (one is VPI), so he may be able to compare them for you. This may give a better impression of how tables compare and contrast. VPI is an unsuspended system while others are suspended. The sound of a VPI is different than other tables, which may impact your choice. A good option is to visit a dealer in your area who has them both to hear and play them for yourself, though it will certainly sound different in your home system. A qualified and honest dealer has worked best in my experiences as the forums offer opinion all over the place. Message me if you want to connect with my dealer if you don't already have one in you like in your area. Best of Luck!
TurnTable Quest
Hello, I would like to start saving for a TTable. I still have a crush on my first real TTable, a Denon DP62L. So sorry I sold it years ago.
WTS, I really like the separate motors, platter ect. Not sure what to look for in that direction. Feel free to offer suggestions. I wont be ready to buy for a while, hopefully the sticker shock wont be that bad.
Thank you, KG
