I just purchased a VPI HW19 MK. II, with a Rega RB600 arm for $700 in perfect condition. Also, it ends up the Plinius is set up for hi output MC cartridges, so I have my eye on a used Dynavector 20X-H which is priced the same as their 10x4.
Some of the tables mentioned (Oracle Delphi, Teres) are just astounding, aesthetically speaking. I just couldn't justify making the additional jump up in expense to buy one of those works of art, but I am very pleased with the VPI and my records have never sounded better.
Thanks again for everyone's input and help. Of all the audiophile forums out there, the analog folks on Audiogon have consistently provided the best, most insightful and accurate advice. I'm very grateful.
