I liked your question so much that I decided to act on it. Here is the cast:
Joe Lovano, Yusef Lateef, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, Stanley Turrentine, Stan Getz, Hank Mobley, Jimmy Heath, John Coltrane, and a couple of altos as well: Paul Desmond and Cannonball Adderley. If you need the actual albums/titles/dates let me know.Anyway, I played one track from each all the way through, first on the Prime, and then back through the stack a second time on the GAE. I know this is not a true A/B, but using the same cartridge and the same interconnects on both TTs requires a certain amount of practical compromise. Also, it is how I listen to music anyway (i.e. extended listening to one set up at a time) and this method has proven to work for me when evaluating other components in the past.
Both TTs do a very credible job of reproducing saxophones. For those with any recording experience the difference might be likened to the difference between microphones. They are voiced differently. Again, at the risk of being redundant, the GAE is brighter, breath tones are easier to discern, the VPI seems to have more bass. I think the choice between these two TTs might best be done based on personal preference and, of course, the characteristics of the associated equipment.
Thanks for your very insightful idea and approach. I had an enjoyable time and learned something. I think maybe next I'll do pianos. ;-)
