Best Cartridge for VPI TNT Hot Rod +JMW12.5+SDS

Jackob, it sounds like you got a great bargain on your Black Beauty! At that price, it is an extremely competitive cartridge with any of the ones I mentioned, and I'm sure that is sounds great in your system. Enjoy!

Thanks Twl. I just got the table and arm and don't yet have it up and running. A guy to whom I spoke at VPI told me they have used a VDH BB with this table and arm and have gotten great results. So I'm eager with anticipation.

Thanks for your wonderful input. Jackcob, would you please let me know the results.

Jwu - Sure, I would be happy to. Currently I haven't set the system up because I need to get some spikes from VPI for the feet of the VPI stand I got and also need to get some more damping fluid for the arm.

I have a VPI Extended Aries with the JMW 12.5 on order. Can't wait. have been reintroduced to vinyl by the extraordinary phono stage in the Supratek Cortese pre.
What was suggested to me by VPI was to use an isolation platform such as Symposium Acoustics Ultra Platform. I am having Symposium buid me a 35" long platform that has a section for the motor and flywheel separated from the section that supports the table itself. this should increase the already excellent performance of this fine table. I am getting my arm with a Grado Sonata in it. I will be anxious to read findings from all of you.
