2nd tonearm on HRX

Hi all, I would like to add a second tonearm to my VPI HRX, can anybody give me some advice on how to do it?
Would a stand alone armpod be a good idea?
The table is on a Symposium Ultra platform, and the stand alone armpod would also sit on the same platform, somebody say the armboard should be connected to the plynth, but how can I do that?
Thank you all, and forgive my english.

Paul, go for it.

My HRX had the JMW tonearm hard bolted direct into the plinth, so doing the same on the other side should have no sonic impact.

I have an Ortofon AS-309-S on my Raven and it is very good. the detachable headshell is very handy indeed.

I believe Jelco OEM the ortofon tonearms.

You are correct that VPI is very easy with their interchangable tonearm wands. the best you can get for a single tonearm.
However it is not as good as having a seperate complete tonearm set up on the table.
That was one of the great selling points of my selling the HRX and buying the TW Acustik raven AC-3.
