Which turntable? Pro-Ject or VPI?

VPI!

VPI.

you are comparing the high end model of one mid-fi brand to a low end model of a high-fi brand. That sums up a lot of questions. It's about pricing and R&D strategy. Will VPI include the quality design and parts in the low end model and would Pro-Ject improve the quality of the Classic that much?

I would ask 3 questions:

• do you want to upgrade parts in the future?
• how do the needles compare?
• do you have any vibration issues?

I think the answers would give you good indication for which one you should pick

the RB300 is a great arm with lots of upgrade path, the carbon arm project makes is just ok. tables are probably close so what ever one you like the look of better. i bet is the VPI will hold its resale value longer.
