What Tonearm Adorns Your VPI?

MylesBAstor · Apr 29, 2010

One of the beauties of the VPI table is that it is a great platform for most arms be they of the linear or 9-10 or 12 inch pivoted variety.

What arm did you chose to mate to your table and what are your impressions?

ET2. I have read that my VPI HW19MKIIs mates well with them. Right, it's the stable platform that is outstanding in VPI's design. I was considering too, at that time, TTs from Oracle and Sota. But alas, the ET2 would not mate too well with them.

The JMW 12.5 that I purchased the same time I got my TNT 3.5. I have added a non-VPI record "clamp" by TTWeights. Check them out at http://www.ttweights.com/page/page/6597621.htm

Mine came with the JMW 9, and was a 2 month demo. It also had the optional anti-skate and dust cover. My dealer had just taken a used Koetsu Black in ( great shape, cleaned and inspected ) and gave me a fantastic price on it ( $ 2,100.00cdn total for everything ) I'm looking at the possible upgrade of the 9 to the Valhalla 9" with either the Valhalla junction box or the Balanced box, depending on my new pre

Thanks

Which wand and internal wiring are you using with the ET?

Myles, I'm still using the original arm, without any mods. I'm not a guy who tinkers a lot with mods, it's just me, I'm not up to these tweaks.

I had a VPI HW19 with TNT platter - nice table- with a Denon 103R and a Rega300 if my memory serves me well. Looking for pictures.....

Hi,

I recently installed my Kuzma Stogi REF 313 VTA to my VPI TNT 6. Im very happy w/ its performance and its quite an improvement from my former Kuzma Stogi Ref .

TNT III with original JMW-10 from 1999.

Added the SDS and stainless steel clamp.

No reason to change, as I notice no deficiencies.

Never liked the dropped counterweight or Nordost wire of more recent VPI arms.
