You're welcome Craig,I'm not trying to disparage VPI. I just wanted to relay info, about a thread, that I was actively involved in. Also, VPI builds some awesome tables; if I needed that level of table, I wouldn't hesitate to consider their product.
Also, the OP, of the thread that I mentioned, was having sound quality issues with his newly purchased table. As such, he asked his dealer to verify that his table was functioning properly. His dealer seemed to think everything was OK. So, to prove to himself, that it wasn't his imagination, the OP upgraded most of his front-end electronics, thinking that was the cause of his playback issues. But, after the upgrades, he still had a sound quality problem. So, I believe that's when he asked VPI, to investigate his complaint. Eventually, after much back-and-forth communication, his table was found to be defective. Something about the tonearm geometry being off. The arm mounting hole was drilled in the incorrect location, preventing proper tonearm and cartridge alignment. Eventually, I 'think' VPI provided a new, correctly manufactured plinth to resolve the issue.
Oh yea, that new Prime looks awesome! I hope it lives up to your expectations, once received. In the meantime, maybe this will help!
Good luck.
