I ordered my Aries 3 in Feb and it arrived last Friday. This will replace my Rega P9/Lyra Delos. The Aries 3 I ordered with a 3D arm and the Ortofon Cadenza Black MC cartridge. This is my first uni-pivot arm and I must confess it sure can try your patience.

    Oh man, congrats on your new table, you sure didn't hold back on this gem. One day I will own an Aries 3 or an HR-X. I love the look of the Acrylic tables.

    The Cadenza Black reviews very well, what are you driving it with?

    Drop in over to the VPI Forum and post up a pic over there too!

    Enjoy!

    For the phono stage I am using the onboard MC stage on my McIntosh C2300 pre - resistance ins adjusted with the remote. It is a very good MC phono stage. The Cadenza Black will need 50 - 100 hrs breakin but what I am hearing 2 hrs into the breakin period I am very pleased. Still tweaking the azimuth on the arm though. Pic of the table is in my avatar. Not sure how to link photos that are on my PC.
