Piranha Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Why do VPI tables seem to be available more often than Basis TT's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 you better pull the trigger on the basis, it is a killer deal the answwer to your question about why vpi is sold more than basis by the ouners should be somewhat obvious i love my basis 1400 and the only way it will leave here is if i can find a step up in the basis line, once you have the basis and set it up correctly you will forget all about other formats of music, i havent played a cd in months and when i did last it was for my daughter to compare cd to vinyl sound. i beleive the vpi is a quality deck and was considering it when my basis came along, and as far as cartridge goes the grado referance sonata is an awsome match with the basis 1400, great detail!!!!!!! in short there is no way you get hurt with a basis 1400 at 850.00 Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I just went and checked the listing its $850 with a descent tonearm seems like a no brainer to me. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner upgrades to a larger VPI. 3. Owner downgrades to a Basis 1400 . 4. Owner upgrades to a Basis 1400 . 5. Owner goes digital. 6. I really have no idea why.

garymd Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 VPI sells WAY more tables. I think that's probably the main reason. Most folks eventually upgrade and I'd have to guess that many stick to the brand they currently own, especially if it's a Basis. I like Guy's list though.
