Suggest Table and cartridge for my system

Kali77, did you have the chance to give a listen to the VPI? My new Benz Woodbody cartridge that I ordered should be in within the next couple of weeks and when I drop my TT off to have the cartridge mounted, I am going to try and give a listen to both, the VPI and the JA Michell.

The wait for my cartridge is killing me. I think I may spontaneously combust if it doesn't arrive within the next few weeks. It's the new wood body "S" series from Benz. I haven't heard it yet, I bought it based on my like for the Benz line of cartridges. Anyway...I digress. Point is, I should have the chance soon to compare the two TT. I will also report back.

What would be interesting as well is comparing the Benz S LP with the LP.

Carter9000,

I have not had a chance to go yet as I got side tracked..... and bought some GMA Callisto's and a pair of Odyssey Lorelei's to a/b against each other. My Proacs have since been put up for sale. The Lorelei's are due on Monday so once I figure out what is going on speaker wise I will get back to my analog hunt.

Please report back with your auditions of the two tables if you get a chance.

Thanks!

Stringreen, unfortunately I won't be able to compare the cartridges. Although, I am not getting the LP, I am getting what use to be called the H2 - the entry level high output wood bodied cartridge. Now I think it will just be called the Benz Wood Body S Class cartridge.

It's called the Wood Body SH, for high, as opposed to the SM and SL, for medium and low respectively.
