In Reply to: VPI Classic best sonic upgrades / recommendations posted by mvj on May 29, 2012 at 08:14:22:
When I had a VPI (HW 19 IV with lots of upgrades); the two I would recommend was the SAMA and SDS (in that order). It's been a while since I have been in the VPI world (and a great world it is); but I'd agree that SDS is in the top. I probably wouldn't advocate SAMA if you have a Gingko or something to isolate the plateau that the motor rests on (some used to use mousepads under the pod and that shows a difference.
VPI's (from my experience) love three things:
1. Stable power rails (SDS connected to PS Audio is the dream)
2. Solid, heavy stands (sand/lead inside a rack is a great idea)
3. Detail-oriented 'extras'. The VPI is a warm, musical table line overall and to get 'inside' the recordings...focus on detail-oriented accessories -- such as silver tonearm cables, detailed cartridges (such as Dynavector Karat, 'the' OC-9, Lyra's, SoundSmith's carts (and his rebuild of carts), etc.)
Have fun with this table.....it will tell you the truth even if you hate the answer.
