Welcome to the big league. This VPI, with the air-bearing linear-tracking tonearm from Eminent Technologies (this tonearm literally floats on a cushion of air), this is arguably one of the most technically advanced table, and certainly one of the most accurate, you will find in this price range. This table has ALL of the available upgrades: ET2 air-bearing tonearm, Ortofon MC 20 MKII Cart (retipped), external DC motor, external VPI speed control, WISA audio air pump, and even the air reservoir/surge tank to normalize the flow of air to the tonearm. And it's nearly mint. There are a few scratches in the dust cover, but VERY minor, and a small wear spot on the acrylic where the record clamp was set during record changes. This is by far the cleanest example of an HW-19 we've ever laid eyes on. It's magnificent!
