I would feel comfortable with a seller with good history and transactions to back it up.

Acoustic solid make some nice tables, although some of the metal ones look like they were designed for a battle ship. I think they’re German and play on that whole German over engineered thing.

Was looking at some yesterday. Do you think they stack up sound wise against something like a 1200G?

I've got the VPI Signature Classic with the 10" gimbal arm and it's been easy peasy, not one issue. What's the issues with the Prime? Is it perhaps the unipivot arms people have issues with?

Yes! I'm always hearing about the unipivot being a nightmare. Some said "they knocked it and spent the next year trying to "reset" it." IDEK WHAT THAT MEANS BUT IT SOUNDS ANNOYING

Cant' say for certain on those, but the modern Thorens decks are considered on par with the 1200G, so I have to imagine those are at least in the same ballpark.

Yes, I specifically got the gimbal. It's the same as any other arm but it's fully adjustable for "on the fly" VTA adjustments, azimuth etc and honestly it just works. I think they offer the gimbal on pretty much all their tables now.

All easily adjustable, no weirdness and tracks like a beast. Obviously a lot of great options on here, but yeah don't let the unipivot write off VPI as an option...

The platter is bonkers. It weighs 20 pounds alone, entire table is 65 lbs.

Unrelated side note...
So I see a listing for an open house down the street from me today, and in the corner of one of the photos I catch a look at something in the basement. I just went over there and sure enough... Goddamn Marantz 2245 AND 2285b sitting in the basement. Look brand new. I might have to go back and try to pry them out of there...
