Sorry I kind of left the thread hang, but I had to deal with Uncle Sam's yearly extortion payoff.

I'm not into vintage for the sake of vintage, most of my stuff was fairly current when I bought it (been doing this a long time). I wouldn't be looking to ditch the VPI for older DD or idler wheel tables.
chakster:
Thanks for the info.

I love the duettas. Since I acquired them in the 80's, I listened to a lot of speakers, and nothing I heard at (almost) any price compared, to my tastes at least.
mcmvm:
Yeah, I think I'm leaning in that direction. The Bryston has served me well over the years including as a subwoofer amp for my home theater system, but with the Apogees, they sound a bit hard.

I have 4 arm tube assemblies for the ET2.5. Swapping arm tube assemblies is simple once the cartridge is initially set up, so I have no need for additional arms. I do have some mono records, including a bunch of 50's and 60's rock, jazz and some classical, and have thought about mono cartridges over the years. I even have a mono integrated tube amp still in storage that I was going to restore and use if I ever did get the mono cartridge.
