I have the Alexandria MK II and am very happy with it. Its a little frustrating for me because I have little experience in setting it all up and think it could be tweaked better. I just installed a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge and want to find someone local with more experience help me get the best sound out of it. I have thought about selling to purchase a VPI Scout but think that may be a lateral move. I am hoping mine is the newer model with the aluminum sub chassis. It weighs a ton for it's size.
