VPI TNT HRX table - what tonearms?

so you are the lucky one who got that deal recently, I woke up too late to see the ad...

Suttlaw, You asked about power cords with the SDS. I can recommend the Silent Source power cords for both the SDS and the motor. If you do put Silent Source PC's in the mix of cords you audition, let us know what happens.

As for cartridges, if you are first going to try a Benz---as some posters have recommended, give the "LP" or "Ebony" a shot.

SME IV or V 'arms on the HRX: Since SME 'arms require such a large cut away to accommodate the over-hang, sliding assembly (not to mention their low-slung DIN connectors), I would think that making such a large cutaway would make any other 'arm un-mountable after a SME has occupied the space. (The mounting holes are made directly into the base/plinth, right?) Also, the large cut-away for a SME would somewhat undermine the presumed design benefits of the massive, rigid, contiguous plinth/base of the HRX in the first place.

JMW 'arm connectors: I think you can get a VPI Phono Interface Box with a DIN connector.

Guys:
Semi is right. I was the lucky one that got the HRX prototype listed on Audiogon yesterday. I woke up early, checked the ads, and voila'. I drove 400 miles roundtrip today and picked it up from a very nice audiophile near St. Louis. He had 20-30 calls about it (including several that offered more than he asked) but sold it to me because I was first to email. You have to applaud a man who honors a commitment like that.
He apparently talks regularly to Harry and Harry mentioned that he is considering producing the all metal chasis model for real because he has been getting a lot of calls for it. However, it is going to be more expensive than the stock model if he does.
This Missouri audiophile has a super system but is disbursing it because he will be homeless (while building a new house) for some time. Steelhead, Meitner DAC/SACD, big ass horn speakers (Avante duos??).
He heard the prototype HRX at the NY Stereophile convention in 2003 and talked Harry into selling it to him. He had the original metal platter and the new vinyl one that Harry sent him. Also the original screw on center clamp and the later weight only one.
He was using standard power cords and a Cardas Golden Reference IC with the unit. He had an extra Cardas which he loaned me to audition to buy. Interestingly enough, we had the same taste in vinyl. Dead jazz guys and gals. Half the LPs I brought to listen, he had.
I can't really comment on the ZYX yet. I only had it in the system for a few records, but it was revealing enough to show bearing noise from my Cosmos. I probably need fluid.
The HRX is too big for my present stand situation. Any suggestions for stands that would work on springy wooden floors. I'm afraid to try and put it on a wall platform like I used for the Cosmos.
I have some BMI Sharks and one Whale Supreme that I will try with the HRX. Anyone have any luck with these?
I liked Jameswei's description/idea of the Ginko dustcover. The VPI one sounds quite awkward, and I wouldn't want to leave a dustcover on the table while playing LPs anyway. Does Ginko make dustcovers in smoky gray?

Gingko Audio is Vinh Vu. His web site is www.gingkoaudio.com. He is an AudiogoN member with ID "Gingko." (His old ID was "vtvu.") He is a pleasure to deal with, and I heartily recommend his work.

Thanks, Jameswei. I've checked the website and like the dustcovers.
