FYI: VPI HW-19 motors

I have read that some people think the later HW-19's were just as good as the later offerings like the Classic. Do you also feel this way and what tone arm do you like on the HW-19's. I have seen that the ET tonearms were often used with this table. Are there better matches?

thanks mofi any sources would be appreciated. my email is bwhitlock56@gmail.com if you have any advice.

Agree wholeheartedly with the Sims Navcom Silencers. I kept the lower
aluminum band on and then threaded them onto the studs I screwed into the
stock spring perches. Sounds far better than either the springs or the
sorbothane!

I wish I could find the Sims Navcom Silencer you reference. I think it would help but seems like they no longer manufacture them.

Bob...yes, sorry the SIMS Navcom Silencers are long gone, but they do show up on here every so often. Keep an eye out.

You could also do a "wanted" ad for them. I'm sure there are some people who have them and haven't used them in years and probably have forgotten about them

They really weren't designed for the VPI HW-19 tables in mind as suspension pucks but work wonders.
