VPI-19 feet


My Mk III I love. Really have no choice, considering the investment; but when I look down at those stock feet, I wince. I have the unit sitting on a board salvaged from one of those sand box devices, on top of some squashed vibrapods.

Suggestions on improving the stock foot situation of the 19 appreciated.

TIA

I got rid of the stock feet on my HW-19 Mk4 and replaced them with the cones made for the VPI HW-19 that are available from Audio Advisor. The cones I am referring to have threaded shafts that screw into the turntable base where the stock feet were. They sell for about $20 for a set of 4 -- don't bother with the cones that cost 2-3 times as much.
I have an Aries Extended; and am also not happy with the stock cones arrangement. would this (or something else) work here as well?
I replaced the stock feet on my VPI mk4 with BDR mk4 cones. I also had J D Casser at Black Diamond grind down a set of mk 4 cones so tht the tip is gone. I replaced the plastic caps that come on the 4 springs with the cones, so that the plinth sets on the cones. The difference was dramatic! I know that sprung TT's are supposed to be very warm and lush, but after doing this, my TT is very dynamic and detailed.
I use the threaded aluminum cones in place of the stock rubber feet. Cones rest on brass Audio Points pucks, sitting atop a Black Diamond shelf. Black Diamond shelf sits atop an Arcici Airhead. Have not experimented with other combo's (admittedly I should) but this setup is doing a nice job.
