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.

So my initial desire was to get a VPI Prime but I've heard such nasty things about how finicky the tables are and how much of a pain the arm can be. Have you heard similar? I need to look more into Clearaudio decks, I haven't even considered them. Also havent heard of the Mark Levinson, checking that out now!

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

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.

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...
