I have exactly a VPI 19 Mk-IV fitted with a OL-RB250 and a VPI/VTA with all the mods purchased directly from Origin Live in the UK. Cartridge used is a Dynavector DV10X4-II also purchased from OL. The exchange was favourable to the US$ and save about 30% if I would purchased here!! I am very happy with this setup and get terrific sound! You will need to spend a "lot" more money to improve on this combo...Alex.
Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade
I'm getting ready to upgrade my arm and cartridge. I will be mounting to a VPI HW-19 Mk IV. I realize there are many combinations that work well together, but it is not easy to get dealers to loan these pieces out the way they loan amps, preamps etc. I'm hoping that some of you can give me some input including what your arm/cart. combo sounds like. Thanks, Doug
