I am certainly of little help choosing a cartridge however I could mention, VPI was developing the HW-40 feet design during my facility tour and explained to me the turntable is asymmetrical weight wise and that each foot required a variation in design for optimal results. This was during the product development stage and I have no information on the final design differences (if any) between each the four production feet that ship stock from the factory. Stillpoints an improvement DUNNO however the cartridge VPI was also developing at the time of my visit sounded beautiful installed on the WH-40 and on display at the VPI house. Not sure if this cartridge is available or even in the same league as the ones mention above but I tip my hat to the HW-40 and the grand choice to crown the Accuphase system with this TT.
