Maybe they'll come out with the Optimus Prime that will convert into a CDP.

This is definitely Mat's company now. I applaud him for bringing more modern production, inventory control, and automation to the process. He's also going down market for the next generation.

My new Aries 3D is being delivered and set up this Friday. Anxious to see the build quality, but mostly the sound!

The Aries 3D is a marvelous table. Spend time researching proper isolation and get yourself a SS intuitive to aid with azimuth setup. BTW, the Ortofon cartridges have an ingenious azimuth adjustment ridge along the top of their cartridges (thank you JDandy for pointing that out to me).

Default New VPI Table

Here is a new VPI table. A colab between VPI and Shinola. $2500 retail. Mat said that they are going to have only (4) tables in addition to the Avenger series as of 2017.
