Replacement for VPI TNT mark v

Rega P9 would be a good choice for a smaller table with great sound.

I have a Transrotor Fat Bob, and can vouch for its small footprint. However, it does have a stand alone motor pod to take into account. The Oracle Delphi is a very compact unit also, and sounds great.
About the most compact unit I have seen is an Empire 208, and if you get one of Esoteric Audio's rebuilds, you will something that competes with the best, for about what you will get for your table used.

Some good suggestions for tables, but they don't (especially the Oracle, and Rega) sound anything like the TNT with it's very full, and slightly dark sound. The Oracle, while really great sounding, is as different sounding as any table that I can think of. I looked at the Pbnaudio table and I must say that I am intrigued. Given that you could use the same platter and same drive system that you now have, it is probably your best bet for retaining the TNT's sound with a smaller footprint.

When you are interested to see the light in the audiophile darkness, think about a Basis Turntable with Graham Ph. Supreme.

Thanks for the responses, I really like the classic vpi sound, I tried some of the newer models and they sound to "bright", probably has something to do with my ribbon tweeters more than the table.
Its also the reason I'm a fan of Grado moving iron cartridges and have used them very happily with this table. I tried a rega (but not the 9) and didn't care for it. Even living in the music capitol of Austin its hard to find anyone that has tables to demo. I'm just not ready to dump my 4000 lps and just love the Acoustic sounds 45 lps I have.
