VPI HW-9 MK2 vs MK3 vs MK4?


What's differences among MKii, MKiii and MKiv?
Any significant difference? Or, are they pretty much the same tables?
Are they comparable to Rega P5 or MMF7?

I agree with with Schipo and Braab8.
I went from a Rega to a HW-19
MK ll and loved the difference
right away [using the same arm and cartridge]. Each time I've upgraded I noticed a marked improvement. I now have a MKlV and it's a wonderfull sounding TT. Built like a tank, easy to set-up, upgrade and maintain.
Also with a Rega, you're stuck with a Rega arm [not that it's a bad thing] or an arm with the Rega arm geometry. With the HW-19 you can swap out the arm board for various arms.
