I actually looked at the VC-S when I started off. The two things I didn't like were the fact that the album only sat on the label, meaning, i was concerned with putting any pressure on the album with the brush for fear of bending, cracking the album. The other was the spout, while it works fine, having a longer tube to empty out the machine makes it a bit more convenient, you don't need to drag it to a tub or sink or using a bucket. The vacuum arm also seemed a little clunky and I was worried about accidentally scratching the album.Looking at some long term planning... aka day dreaming. Does the VPI 16.5 sit comfortably on top of a Kallax unit? Is it still the top pic of the forum?
I'm also drawn to the Project VC-S because I like the no platter factor. That just makes sense to me. But a unit that works every time with ease is more important when I actually do make this investment.
Just my thoughts, in principle it does the same thing as the VPI, I just preferred the few little things. And as for particles moving from the dirty side to the clean side on the cork mat, never had a problem with that, but I've also added THIS to the tool box to clean the platter really well every so often based on how much cleaning I've done.
