VPI Classic vs Avid Volvere SP

I agree with Pani on the Volver, but the arm is just not that great compared to the table.
At least IMO.
(I own a Rega RB700 on my P-5)
So the table itself would be an upgrade, with the arm not being any upgrade.
If that makes sense.
I think it would be a mistake to buy THAT setup. later on a Volver with a better arm might come your way..?

keep the classic.

Yes, the arm does sound like a weak link, if a Volvere comes up with a decent SME arm for example, it would be more worthy of consideration.

Thanks for the help guys.

I cannot comment on the VPI, but I just moved to a Volvere from a Wilson-Benesch Circle and could not be more pleased. I am using the same arm/cart combo from the Circle (ACT 0.5 and Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood) so only the 'table has changed. The difference is remarkable--I really needed a suspended table in my room, which the Volvere delivers beautifully. The table is a lot quieter vis a vis surface noise and imaging is tighter. Classic lifting of the veil effect too.

At that price point, the Well Tempered Amadeus should be on your short list.
