Replacement for VPI TNT mark v

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.

I had a similar issue with space years ago. I solved it by having a plinth made from Corian in the dimension (and color) I wanted. Worked like a charm (see my systems pictures to see if this would work for you).

Enjoy,
Bob

I have a TNT Mklll with SME -V as well as a HW-19 with a tTerminator T-3. The smaller table runs right with the larger one. I attribute that to the tonearm on the HW-19. I would suggest picking up a used 19 adding the Terminator and you'll have plenty of $$ left over. Alternatively, add that tonearm to a new Classic and I'm confidant you'll be happy.
