Experience VPI Dragon and/or Mark Levinson 515 turntables


I understand both of these listed turntables are the same.

Are there Audiogoners that own or have evaluated one or the other.  I am very interested in feedback from use.  Or is there another VPI turntable I should consider.  Any other options?

I currently own Oracle Delphi II with Eminent Technology arm and am looking for a table that is much newer and benefits from 35 years of industry knowledge and manufacturing.

Here, from Vlad in Canada (whom I got my TT81 and CL-P2 Plinth from), is a JVC Victor TT-101 Direct Drive Spinner in a CL-P3D Plinth, with a wonderfully adjustable Micro-Seiki 505 Arm (I installed two for my friend on his Luxman PD444)

That is compact single arm setup with removable head shell, dust cover, I am clarifying the Plinth’s construction with Vlad, as this looks narrower than the CL-P3D I found online.

check his other listings, I highly recommend him.

from Vlad, I misunderstood, the CL-p3d is on another unit

"This plinth where TT-101 mounted made of solid piece of acrylic"

Thank you so much.  Excellent feedback.

I am very comfortable to proceed with VPI Dragon purchase.

VPI will be a very good choice!!!.
