I have had a VPI Aries in my system for about 2 years now. I had Linn LP 12s in my system for over 20 years and just became tired of always adjusting the springs. In my system the VPI has the most neutral and detailed sonics I have heard from analog at this price point. It is very easy to setup and maintain. The JMW arm is an excellent match with the table. Go to www.audiophilia.com/hardware/aries.htm for an online review. Listener mag. also gave it an excellent review in the May/June 2000 issue.Good luck.
