vpi tnt what upgrades do i need


I just recently purchased a used vpi. The feet and plinth are from the 1st tnt is my understanding I may be wrong though ( the feet are the spring ones), the platter is the one with lead, the bearing and moter are from tnt V. I understand a graham 2.2 arm will suit my set up and that sumiko blackbird is a good match for this turntable. What do I do next get the new air feet, the new motor with flywheel in center. Are there any other arms or cartridges I should look at? And finally is the aesthetix rhea good enough or should I go with manley, or cj, or ar, whest, musical f., cary, krell, pass, herron, lamm, levinson, tom evans, m.s. phonomena, or bat. I am favoring rhea

Biggest bang for buck is SDS controller. I would get the new Gingko-style feet - not the air bladders - offered by VPI. The stainless clamp is also nice as well.

For cartridge/phono stages, you could buy all the greatest equipment now and still be disappointed because of improper matching/setup. I would suggest you walk before you run then upgrade later on.
