TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range?

The Tonearm will of course play vital with a reference rig.

Reckon you won't go too far in that realm with a $7K Table, and a $400 arm.

If somebody here would hand me a blank check, I can't help thinking about somebody like Galibier Design. Something about a 40+ lb Platter sounds might sweet to me! lol

Of course their Stelvio II with Arm will set you back a might more than $7K.

This info may be of some value to others, I once had a short discussion with Harry Weisfield earlier in 2011.

The discussion was pertaining to the VPI Classic Turntable, and as Harry stated, the Classis can possibly be ordered, and drilled for a Tonearm other than the JMW Arm.

That for whatever personal reasons, there are possible other candidates for a choice of Tonearm on the Classic.

I know no more than this, and such would of course need to be discussed with the VPI Factory. I would then assume that other similar sized Arms of choice could be implemented. Mark
