Default New feet for the Classic 1! Anyone????

I love my classic 1. It sounds great and I am very happy with the build quality However, I would like to replace the leveling feet. Has anyone found a replacement that would complement the look of the TT and yet still permits adjustment and vibration reduction?

Ed - I looked into the same thing a few months ago for my Classic 2. From all the feedback I read out there, the go to product is made by Eden Sound.....they sell footers that are specifically made for the VPI Classic lineup. They have several products such as Bearpaws and the Terrastone footers. I went with 4 of the Terrastone footers.



They are very solid and also do have the leveling ability with the brass cones that screw into the bottom of the feet. They also look great as well, but there is a definite improvement in stability. I'm very happy with mine. Anyway, Dan at Eden sound is very knowledgeable and was very helpful on the phone, so I'd recommend them highly!

Buck - Thanks very much for the feedback. They look much better than the orig. I will give them a call.
Would you PM me with the cost?
Thanks ED

The new VPI Prime is now out, and sports new feet. Perhaps they'll be available to order separately?

Ed, I really like the Symposium footer inserts on my Classic 3 on my Symposium platform. I could hear an improvement right away when I tried it.

Those are great feet! Though we will be offering the new Prime feet as an upgrade for the Christmas season. They are actually already made but I don't want to start talking about them and shipping them until I have all of the instructions and pretty pictures finished up
