My New VPI Classic 2

Recommended Posts

I asked not to have it stained , I wanted it as close to natural as possible . Tom used an oil/wax that's all it really brings out the grain .

What stain did you choose looks a little different than my walnut.

Most stains will blend the differences in the grain color, the darker you go the less the difference, like music it all boils down to personal choice.

One last thing to consider A1UC. Mike and others at VPI are not not keen on the mechanical anti-skate device. They also say that the Classic 3(10.5i)tonearm does not really need any anti-skate applied anyway.You can apply some AS force if you need to with the wire twist method since your tonearm does not have the Valhalla wire. Noticeable sonic improvement witout the mechanical AS. Try removing it and see what you think.

I ran my Scoutmaster Dyna 20X for along time without the AS, then I tried it and it improved the sound quality to a noticeable amount...
