Miracord 50H Turntable
i had a Miracord in the old days with a Stanton 681EE cartridge that brought me great pleasure. If the table is in good condition, it will bring smiles to you as well. 
Where can I find a Benz lps cartridge for sale?
Right you are Nandric....VPI had to make a special one for my 3D arm. The cartridge is quite fabulous and worth any trouble it may make.

New VPI 3D Arm
Okonrad.....I also have a 3D, but was told that my arm has the "old" side weights...that there are new larger side weights now, however the tower has to be changed to a new black colored one to accommodate the larger space so that the new weight d... 
Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords
Keith...I agree with you that power cords make a huge difference....but as I said above...not on the Vandersteens 5A's that I own. I am using Ayre as well. I made my own power cords with Furutech ends and Acrolink cable. The cable is far less impo...

VPI has any counterweight you need....they will recommend the one you should have. Lyra recommends a gimbaled arm for their cartridges. VPI has new side weights for their arms that work well ....better than the older weights. Get in touch with VPI... 
Why does the VPI motor thump
Bifwynne.....Actually, I have a modified Superscoutmaster rim drive.....doesn't get warm at all. Never heard of an overheating complaint from others I know who own a Classic 3

Bpoletti...thanks for the answer 
Will power cables improve a VPI Classic 3 tt?
NOPE....nice try 
Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?
I totally agree with Mattmiller....tried all the Cardas permutations, and they all don't work in my system....I exchanged my B&W's for Vandersteen and am still smiling after all these years. 
Why does the VPI motor thump
