What direction is VPI headed?
Frank Van Alstine developed what he named the Longhorn in the 1980's.Looks like he still does them. http://avahifi.com/products/for-vinyl-lovers/longhorn-phono-cartridges |
I have enjoyed this table for over 20 years. If properly setup, with the proper arm, I believe it still competes with the finest today whether made by VPI or others.+1 In discontinuing the original SAMA and replacement parts for the HW-19 and failing to offer a table with armboards you have shut out a significant slice of the audiophile community.+1 There are a lot of arms that work very well with the HW-19 besides the Linear Trackers, (which do indeed sound great). It's an EXCELLENT platform for a really, really nice vinyl playback system. I have a LOT of experience with this table and it still holds it's own... |
What have ya’ll found to be an improvement over the stock isolation springs in the HW-19 (all iterations)? Herbie’s dots, SIMS Navcom Silencers, Sorbothane spheres, cones, anything DIY, etc.I have tried just about everything. My favorite are the SIMS Navcom Silencers, (with the bands removed). Unfortunately, they are getting really hard to find. YMMV |
