This is probably one decent sounding deck...as I have something quite similar and it's
quite good (VPI HW-19 Mk. III, Pete Riggle VTAF, Audioquest PT-6 tonearm and Expressimo Heavyweight counterweight)
Big, bold strokes and imaging bigger than
any of my direct drives can ever do.
VPI makes an upgraded bearing/spindle now for the
princely sum of $100

Further, customer svce from them is excellent and they support any table they have ever made - irregardless of age or original ownership. Stellar in that regard.
Anybody looking for a giant killer for $1000 outta' look
seriously at this one from Mike

Add VPI's SDS unit ($700-$1000) for a bit more refinement later on, too.
However - For Sale items need to go on a different circle.
