VPI “the Harry”

I don’t have experience with ‘The Harry’ but I’ve got a Prime 21.

I love it.

I started with a VPI Nomad & then jumped to the Prime 21.

Harry said he’s got that table at his house using it & it sounds great.

I don’t see the correlation to Project at all. Project has the Pink Floyd triangle shaped table, the Scorpions scream image table, the AC/DC lightning bolt table, & the Beatles yellow submarine table.

VPIs current line ranges from entry level to very high end. Their entry level is a little higher than some others but IMO you get what you pay for. My Nomad sounded excellent, with a Soundsmith Zephyr cart.

VPIs tables are made us the US. I’m glad to support a company that keeps our money in our country.

My customer service experiences have been excellent. I’ve also seen on the FB page that they go beyond in helping out other owners.

I talked to a guy who bought a MOFI Fender table. He bought my VPI Soundsmith Zephyr cart & loves it. He said he is going to sell the Fender table & get a VPI.

I do like the looks of the wood Harry but also thinking the Prime line may bring more benefits. I’ve been using an Aries Scout.

@durkn I made the comparison to Pro-Ject only because of VPI's ever increasing number of turnable and tonearm models.  Both companies seem to follow the 'more is more' philosophy.  I personally find it confusing.  Pro-ject is definitely a lot worse and their 'collaborations' seem silly to me, but I think that VPI's more streamlined set of product offerings from the Harry days was easier to grok - entry level, mid level, and flagship.  But what do I know, it seems to be working for VPI...

Rega with a shelf or Townshend platform (or both).

I’m using second hand VPI Avenger rim drive which came with 2 VPI tonearms.
