I m considering buying VPI HR-X which is highly rated by absolute sound reviewer. Read fr Salvatore of High-end audio that VPI HR-X prototype with solid aluminium plinth with solid platter fr TNT turntable is highly recommended but not the present HR-X with acrylic platter and composite plinth. Give me your comment. TQ
Audioblazer Go to this link. go to the bottom where it says "Rosonance Evaluator"--I think it is a very good guideline for the correct cart/arm matching. http://www.cartridgedb.com/
I've read the same thing, and been thinking about the upgrdade. I think Harry W. wants 11k for it. That would be around 6K more from my current SuperScout Master. The big question of course "Is the sonic difference worth the 6K??"
NO. The only danger is if your cart is a real low profile. eg. Dynavector Karat 17D2. I think the peripheral ring is a very big plus on this table. I don't imagine that there would be a big difference in my current set to an HRX. except for the cool looks of course I am using very good isolation bases (Sand box and Bright Star with air bladders) to me this is just as good or better than a suspended HRX. The key with this table or any table is good isolation and cart matching (high compliance cart) with the JMW9.
