| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Wntrmute,What were you using before the limbsavers, and aside from helping to isolate your table from the closing door was there a sonic improvement?I gather you placed them between the plinth and base. If you did, was any modificaton of the base ... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Wayne,Actually I have 4 pieces of the noodle stuff under my table. If you ever get around to this mod, send me an eMail and let me know what you think of it.Piedpiper,Apology accepted, even us innocents can get touchy sometimes when it comes to ou... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Piedpiper,I understand that and I was'nt trying to compare the 2 tables. What I was trying to say was, just because it now might resemble another table, it does'nt necessarily make them the same or even a hybrid of the two. | |

| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Wayne,Then the Basis 1400 must be a damn good sounding table! But kidding aside, IMO the TNT platter and the VPI HW plinth are superior to the Basis two slabs of acrylic.You can get the noodles at, get ready for thisToy's R- Usor any swimming pool... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Wayne,I agree the base can be another layer of isolation providing you can properly isolate it. My reasoning was why bother going though the trouble and expense of isolating it when you can just take it out of the equation. Aside from adding their... | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones Mred,I have'nt tried the NAVCOM [rifle dampeners, limb savers] material yet. Just threw that out there as a suggestion hoping someone had and would comment on it. My guess is that you would have to cut them down too, but give the vendor a call. Ma... | |
| VPI HW-9 MK2 vs MK3 vs MK4? I agree with with Schipo and Braab8. I went from a Rega to a HW-19MK ll and loved the differenceright away [using the same arm and cartridge]. Each time I've upgraded I noticed a marked improvement. I now have a MKlV and it's a wonderfull sounding... | |

| Tonearm conclusions keep coming up Rega ??????? I've used both the RB300 w/full Origin Live mods as well as the Origin Live Silver MKll on my VPI HW-19 MK lV table with Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood cart and like the Silver much better. A used one could be had for around $700. According to Origin L... | |
| entry level TT Try the Regas. Used P2 or P3 could be found for around $300. You can modify the arms later as your budget permits. I had an older P3 a while back with a PAS2 pre and Pilot260 amp and was happy with that set-up. | |
| VPI HW 19 - replacing springs with pucks or cones I wound up using packing material made up of the same stuff as the noodles.I cut it up very carefully with a large, sharp kitchen knife and had to cut quite a lot of pieces before I got enough of them to be exactly the same height. Getting things ... |
