Differences between TNT 5 and 6

I've been upgrading my TNT for years (SAMA, flywheel,
bearing, air suspension, SDS) to the point when it is
almost at Mk. 5 status, but with the Mk. 1 platter (I hear
that this was considered a warmer and possibly superior
platter to those that followed). The upgrade to the
new generation TNT seems to require a major retooling
and I am quite reluctant to step over that cliff.

That said, I have been very happy with my TNT ``almost 5''.
An earlier issue that I had with the platter stopping was
nicely resolved by VPI by replacing the flywheel.

At this point, I am tempted by some of the super tables,
like the SpJ, which looks quite beautiful and may even
sound as nice. But I am not going further up the VPI
food chain.

Own the TNT 5 and have heard the 6. The difference was not apparent to my ears. If I decide to stay with VPI, I'll go for the HRX. However, the sound from the TNT 5 is quite extraordinary, specially when using the SDS speed control. Very pleased also with the JMW 12.5 and the ZYX Airy I have mounted at the present time.

Good luck in your search.
