Hey Slaw,
Hurst AC synchronous 300 RPM.
Model #  LYD55T115DL.
VPI uses P/N SP4007 which I have on hand as a spare. I suspect that Hurst part number is either 3201-001 or 3203-001. You'll have to ask them to be sure. FWIW, my initial motor was a Hurst RA 3901-001 & I hated it. Wasn't smooth enough. The LYD55T11DL is incredibly smooth but not as powerful. Once it's moving it isn't an issue... Stable, smooth & sounds wonderful but... It requires slight help to get started. This isn't an issue for me because the platter is out in the open & 4" thick. It would probably not be required with a thinner platter, don't know. 

Swans / Glowing Man 
Slaw, Thanks for the heads up

Uber, The more I hear about your childhood, the more we have in common (LOL)

Castanets / Cathedral 
Slaw,
What type of music (or who could you compare here to)?

Neurosis & Jarboe / ST
For any "Swans" fans, this is an excellent album
I never heard of that one from them either. Interesting... 

Nicolai Dunger / Blind blemished blues 
Thanks Uber, I'll pass on it then

T Bone Burnett / ST
The 1st pressing of this is a great recording BTW

Brian (noromance),

I am a fan of MM cartridges. At some point I'm going to have to try a Decca cartridge (of some flavor), as they consistently receive praise from music lovers. Glad you're happy with the "Super Gold".

Thanks Tomic! The albums are absolutely great

Zappa / Apostrophe
Straight from tomic!

 

Brian, Thanks for the comments about the Decca. Good to know.
