Vpi 19mkIV or linn sondek 12

Talk to dealer/member larry (hwdsound), he's been selling and modifying VPI turntables for 20 years. As they have no suspension you can try things like sand-filled bases and corian arm-boards and complete top plates. The separate arm-board also makes it easy to swap arms with little or no re-alignment.

VPI's don't have suspensions? What?

In another thread a guy asks about mounting a JMW on an Oracle and no one tells him that the thing weighs over 4 lbs?

Does anyone here know what he's talking about?

With due respect to Kitch29, the only TT in the HW-19 series that does NOT have a suspension is the 'Junior'. It isn't "suspended" in the usual sense -- it sits on vibration-controlling pucks. Once you upgrade beyond the 'Junior', the HW-19's have spring suspension systems. The upgrades to the HW-19 Mk3 and Mk4 involve heavier platters, with corresponding changes to the springs and to the platter bearing (the Mk4 version, for example, uses the same thrust bearing as the more expensive TNT series of TT's).

One little mistake....Like I said, contact hwdsound.
