VPI Aries vs. VPI TNT III


My 12 year old Sota Saphire will not hold a steady speed anymore, and I've got the bug to upgrade. How do you folks compare the Aries to the TNT III? Is the TNT worth the extra money if bought used? I'm willing to pay a little more for a meaningful improvement. The reviews I've seen say that recordings that are old and not well recorded are unlistenable on the Aries. I highly value musicality. Thanks.

Doug, thanks for making a really good point.

Beavis, thanks for your response. It is currently under careful review by our cryptography department.
Beavis, sorry, hope my response wasn't too obnxious. What were you going to say?

Khrys, I wasn't aware the TNT had considerable variables which require regular attention. I'm lucky if I get an hour to an hour and a half a week to listen to the system and don't want to spend any more time than necessary tweeking it,(which is why I decided against a Lynn). What is required to keep the TNT sounding better than the Aires?
Khrys, I appreciate the info. I didn't realize the TNT required that kind of attention.
