Best Cartridge for VPI TNT Hot Rod +JMW12.5+SDS

Jwa -- I got my table (TNT Mk V and JMW 12.5) and the Van Den Hul BB up and running over the weekend. I had been using my BB in a LP12/Ekos set up for about 6 months previously. I can report that I'm delighted with the new rig. I really like the BB and it sounds wonderful in this setup. The bass performance in the new rig is MUCH better than in the LP12, and there are no areas in which the old setup outperformed the new one.

Twl -- I am curious. I was also thinking of using a VDH Black Beauty on a TNT Mk V with JMW 12.5 arm. What are you reservations, or is it just that you prefer the other two cartridges?

Thanks Twl. I actually already own the VDH BB (paid $1750) and just got the VPI/JMW 12.5 setup. I was concerned that there might be compatibility issues that I hadn't heard about. Sounds as if I'll be ok.

Thanks Twl. I just got the table and arm and don't yet have it up and running. A guy to whom I spoke at VPI told me they have used a VDH BB with this table and arm and have gotten great results. So I'm eager with anticipation.

Jwu - Sure, I would be happy to. Currently I haven't set the system up because I need to get some spikes from VPI for the feet of the VPI stand I got and also need to get some more damping fluid for the arm.
