Decided to add to the VPI collection:

Hi, yes they do fit nicely into the vibrapods.

 

Is that a KAB power supply in its standard looks or it's a custom box? I think I've seen different ones?

 

Yeah - it is a KAB PS1200. I picked up a slick faceplate from a member at another forum that does lots of design work - he had an extra one on hand.

 

Thanks, looks good.

 

It's sick how much I want that faceplate for my KAB power supply.

 

Very nice gear. If I may ask a question about the board your VPI is on. Is that a cutting board? If so, what kind and what size?

 

My Delphi V went back to the mothership in early December "to have some work done." It returned just prior to Xmas with all the most sonically significant Delphi VI upgrades installed along with a new Delphi Reference granite base. My previously beautiful table has made the leap to absolutely stunning. It quite literally took my breath away when the table was reassembled and put in place on my Grand Prix Audio wall mount.

 

Sure, yes now both tables have cutting boards under them. The Prime table has a Boos 18x24x2 inch board and the Jr has an 18x24x1.5 inch but can’t remember who by. Both were scratch and dent discounted new for half off on Amazon. Underneath I have 4x4x3/4” air conditioner appliance vibration killers.

 

Thank you, I have been doing some research on using boards.

 

Here is my restored Denon DP-75 in a DK-300 plinth, with a Victor UA-7082 tonearm, and AT VM750SH cartridge. I have enjoyed this turntable for a while now, and it will soon be moving on to a new home. I plan to keep the Victor arm and mount it on some other table. The cartridge, while not an ideal match for this arm compliance-wise, sounds damn good! I figured I’d post a picture of this combo while I still have it, for posterity’s sake.

 

Which turntable will take the place of this nice Denon?

 

@Oelewapper Don't much about photography but those shots of your beautiful turntable are sharp!

 

Thanks, I don't even remember how mine looked like anymore haha

 

Just picked up a VPI HW-40

 

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

back straight and use your legs

 

A Technics SP-10MK2A + EPA-500 tonearm, which I already have

 

Reposting to fix broken image links...

 

Beautiful!
Why doesn't VPI still make tables that look like that?

 

I'm not sure why they don't, but I'm thrilled to have this like new 25-year old model and I didn't have to pay close to new VPI prices for it.

 

And just so it doesn't feel left out, I am still running my Harman Kardon T60, with Denon DL-301 MkII as my seconday table:

 

People need to stop posting beautiful pictures like this. My first VPI was a 19 MK-IV, and now I wish I still had it, which means I'm going to go searching for one and probably buy it...sigh.
