VPI HRX?

I've read the same thing, and been thinking about the upgrdade. I think Harry W. wants 11k for it. That would be around 6K more from my current SuperScout Master. The big question of course "Is the sonic difference worth the 6K??"

anybody got any idea how much more it would cost if the HR-x comes with a solid platter and aluminium plinth ?

Justubes. can you describe the sound of the superscout master? When ur playing the 1st song in the LP is there any danger of cueing the stylus on the peripheral ring ? TQ

NO. The only danger is if your cart is a real low profile. eg. Dynavector Karat 17D2. I think the peripheral ring is a very big plus on this table. I don't imagine that there would be a big difference in my current set to an HRX. except for the cool looks of course I am using very good isolation bases (Sand box and Bright Star with air bladders) to me this is just as good or better than a suspended HRX. The key with this table or any table is good isolation and cart matching (high compliance cart) with the JMW9.

What would be a gd catridge for VPI HRX with 12.6 JMW tonearm?TQ
