    VPI TNT 3.5 with JMW 10.5 Tonearm SOLD

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    The tonearm is a JMW 10 (not 10.5), the same tonearm I have on my VPI Aries. It is a very nice, and highly adjustable, arm.

     

    The platter is from a TNT V,  half delrin and half stainless steel, no lead. It is considered by many to be the best platter that VPI has made, even over the Super Platter.

     

    If I were local, I would be tempted to pick it up for the platter, spare motor and tonearm for my Aries (the TNT is too big for my shelf).

    Just saying, this is a great deal for someone looking to upgrade their turntable.

    If the listing is honest that was a great price. A lack of a wood case or a SUT is no reason not to grab is at that price. I just hope the listing is legit for whomever did buy it.  

     

    It was legit. Echo Audio is a brick and mortar shop in Portland. I have bought a couple of components from them, over the years, and have visited the few times I've found myself in Oregon. They are great to deal with, usually very fairly priced, and know how to pack.

     

    I saw the ad when the NBS was still available, and briefly considered it. Alas, I need another preamp like I need another amp, or another pair of speakers.

    The Lehmann Black Cube is definitely worth looking at. I have the original version, but the SE version, with upgraded power supply, is supposed to be much better, and is within your price range on the used market.

     

    I've used mine with a Shure V15 III and Denon DL160 MM cartridges, as well as a 0.24 mV output ZYX Airy 3 MC cartridge. It has sounded excellent with everything I've thrown at it.

    Also sent a PM, no reply......wah....

     

     

    GMC - i havent received your PM reply....please resend when you get a chance, ready to roll....

     

    I apologize, and am not sure what happened. Both PMs came to my email <gmccaughey@gmail.com>, and I replied from there. I will try again via Klipsch PM momentarily.

     

    Edit: All PMs replied to. Sorry everyone, I neglected to read the part in my email about not responding directly, and having to click the link to respond via PM. In the interest of full disclosure, I was celebrating my wife's birthday last night, and might've had a couple of drinks before getting online.

    Need help finding what speakers may be worth

    According to the serial number, those were built in 1984 (1st two numbers designates year of manufacture, beginning in 1983). If they were made in 1980, there would be a U in the serial number.

    In their current condition, provided that the speakers are in decent shape, everything is original, and they still sound good, I think that $500 wouldn't be asking too much, or too little. If you wanted to put some work into the cabinets, you could probably clean them up and get a few hundred more.

    Good luck with your sale.
