Introduce clearaudio. Their universal tonearm is a pure joy to use. Extremely stable in the groove and no azimuth issues to deal with. Further, I think that CA builds a superior turntable in both construction, durability, and appearance.
I will never look back. I realize we have lots of Vpi owners on this forum and they seem to be very happy and that’s fantastic. I just wanted to present the opposite side.

Congrats on your Clearaudio Master Innovation, Aditya! I love mine as well.
A concern of mine (when last shopping, before I bought my first CA Innovation) about VPI was of course 1) their unipivot arms and 2) the way they change philosophies and directions, which causes many of their top-tier tables to become outdated or OOP within just a few short years (excepting the lovely HR-X). The Innovation products were done right from the start, and are still an excellent part of the CA lineup 8 years later, still in their original forms.
