Hey Wayne, Ok, so you have lit a spark in me, and now I have been busy. I am getting a new turntable, and wanted your opinion on it. VPI Hw-19 with and Audio Quest PT-9, Your opinion and help will be needed! Perhaps we could put it together at our club meeting? And I should have the 2 evm 12s also. Bob

Manual? I hope that is you name... No I have made these purchases so far, the VPI HW-19 JR Audio QUest PT9 Arm Grado Reference platinum Probably could get a better cartridge, but do no know which to get, so I have ordered this one, do you think it is a good choice? Sounds like you are experienced, so may I ask a question , is the VPI already drilled for the Arm? IN the pic it appears so, and the arm apppears to be coming with its own table as well. Yes, and I can use all the help I can get, I would appreaciate your help. bob

Bob, Sounds like we almost have the same system. I'm running an HW-Jr too with a PT arm and a Grado Gold cart. I don't have the PT9, but one of the lower models. There are better systems on the market, but this will get you 95% of the way at a fraction of the cost. What are you using for phono stage? I've found that this part of the system to be just as important as the TT, arm and cart. Probably even more important than the pre-amp. Gar.

Today I found out the VPI comes predrilled for the arm, so I feel much better, I ordered it a few days ago. I am going to use the grado platinum, until I find something better, so if you guys have any suggestions I will appreciate it. So, to answer your question, John, yes it is new, I don't get used stuff anymore, even on E-bay it seems so tiring to loose out on something you set your mind to. And Gar. I am pleased that someone eles has a sytem that I will be similar to, and of course pleased that I have chosen some decent additions. I have a lot of 45s I have not listened to in years, and a new record cleaner to try out.Her are either of you guys, John, Gar, coming to the meeting?

Sounds great! I wouldn't get new sleeves because I don't think that will do you much good. Best to clean the records before use each time. As for the EV's, I'll be happy to give you a hand. I already ran the numbers on that box and realized that your cabinet is so oversized it should be run sealed and will act as an infinite baffle. It seems like it was so large that even an EBS alignment would be too far - The shelf would be too far down. But we'll look at it again to confirm. The crossover point and slope will be determined by the drivers you choose to run above them. Wayne
