VPI Classic vs Clear Audio Wood


Looking for some advice.  Upgrading Luxman PD 284/Grado Red.
Leading candidates are VPI Classic 2 ( NOS) vs Clear Audio Wood: both with either SoundSmith Zephyr III or Dynavector 20 x 2.
My system: Leben CS 600 amp/LDF LE Phono stage with Spendor SP1 speakers.
Any thoughts?
Thanks MP

Sparkle is not a quality of live, acoustic, unamplified music if you like sparkle in your music reproduction system then you are enjoying electronics, distortion, and unaccurate sound which is fine but it is not high fidelity reproduction.
