Nice! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

I had a VPI Prime years ago. It was a great table but I ended up not being a huge fan of the unipivot tonearms and tweaky nature of the VPI tables. In the VPI Realm I had a Prime and years before that a Classic. The Classic is a great table but it was just overbearing in size and weight. It was a monster and was larger than my amps. I tested out a Technics 1200G not so long ago (which I enjoyed and almost purchased) but the Luxman ticked more boxes for me in design and style (and I found a used deal). I listen to much more digital than analog but the 151 is a pleasure to use and yes, I would say it bests the VPI I had in sound and even design FOR ME (maybe not for you). VPI Tables are cool, but you have to like the tonearms and they are not free of issues. The Prime had a noisy motor that needed to be swapped when I bought it initially. I also much prefer a button to change speeds rather than having to move the belt to do so. The Luxman is a beauty but there are many tables out there that are just as good or better. Things such as this are a personal choice more than "better or worse". The VPI is not "better" than The Luxman though, just different design, materials, type of arm, etc. I can say one thing I DISLIKE about the 151 is that it has captive interconnects. Can't change them. With VPI you can. Thanks.

@@thomasfi1275 Not true, sorry to call you out but as I have said a million times, I ONLY REVIEW gear I enjoy. I drop not do negative reviews. I send back PLENTY of gear that doesn't get reviewed. I'd say 1-2 pieces per month go back without review. This table is not "the best" as that does not exist in audio. At this time, with the 595, this table is "the best" for me, and yes, the best table I have owned, for my tastes. I talk about gear that is actually worth the money, which is why you will not see me review many brands or pieces. Nothing I have reviewed is "The Best" for everyone, that doesn't exist. I am sorry you dislike positive reviews but if you want to see trashing, I do not do that here. I'd rather not review a product if it is subpar (and many pieces of gear are subpar). I also keep a ton of gear and have way too much (some that have been in boxes for a year or more), but it is our entertainment in life and we enjoy it. Have a good day.

​@@HiFiHuff Been eyeing on the Mark II but price is way above what I am willing to spend especially the $900 lid !! Are you willing to share what you picked up your store demo TT w/ the cart at ? Thanks !!!

@@ptg01 I have an eye on the lid since i bought my 151...but due to the ridiculous price i always ran away and bought records instead and a feather duster 🤣

@@metastaticmince2386 I hear you. Just makes absolutely no sense....

Thank you. I have too much gear but I enjoy it all. This will be my full time winter setup. Luxman 595 ASE, Luxman 151,Pass XP17, DCS Lina DAC/CLOCK and my Deville's. I'll throw in the 300B when the mood hits : )

Yes; it is a Jelco tonearm. The Mk2 uses a different supplier since Jelco shutdown it’s tonearm operations.
