Cart option for VPI turntables

I found Lyra and Dynavector cartridges to work best with VPI tables/arms.

Cheers,

VPI is pretty big on Grado's higher lines of moving magnet cartridges. In fact, they actually sell a 1.5mv version of Grado's "The Reference" cartridge on their website and recommend it highly if you call them (Mike at VPI).

I have one of the above on my TNT with JMW 12 arm and it is very musical, with a beautiful midrange. Lower output for better sound than the standard 4.5 mv "The Reference" version but relatively easy to drive with most good phono sections (compared to 0.5mv low-output "Statement Reference" version) and tracks great.

Koetsu Rosewood and Black seemed to work well with my old TNT-HR with 12.5 arm, running RCA junction box with XLR Signature wire.
In my HRX with 12.6 arm, I favour the ClearAudio Titanium, running with the XLR junction box and Valhalla wire.
