I have a VPI Super Prime Scout with a Lyra Kleos. I have my eye on a Prime Signature with the gimbaled arm. Rather than upgrade the super prime to the gimballed arm for $4000 I would rather spend $6500 and get the P Sig with the arm and the nicer plinth. But I would definitely keep the Kleos
VPI Classic 3 Upgrades or Move On to Something New
I'm the 2nd owner of a VPI Classic 3, bought here on Audiogon in 2014. Cartridge is Soundsmith VPI Zephyr. Considering giving it some new life with a JMW 10-3D Unipivot Tonearm, Signature Feet, and ADS Speed Controller. Total upgrade cost - $3,950.
Or...should I go in a new direction and give another turntable a try? I have no complaints about my current setup, but don't have a frame of reference for what I might be missing out on.
Budget for a new turntable/cartridge combo is anywhere from $5,000-$10,000. Thoughts?
