I don't remember. Not terribly long. I've been traveling so much, I've lost track!

Have you gotten anywhere on this review? Have been thinking VPI for a new TT, but could be interested in the Diva II SP.

No problem. Can you. Tell me if the Diva II SP will take two armboards? I like to mount an arm with an LOMC and one with an MM. Thanks.

I'll blast a note to Conrad, but I do not think the II SP does, only the original DIVA which was made more for the Japanese market.

I couldn't agree with you more, and I pestered Conrad about this option when I went to AVID last month. One other table you might consider if you need two arm boards is the TW Acustic RAVEN TWO. I used to have one of these and it was excellent.

Just talked to Conrad and confirmed that the DIVA II SP does not have provision for two tonearms. The original DIVA was developed for the Japanese market, with that ability. Even then, less than 1% bought the two arm version.

He is not planning on upgrading current product to accommodate two arms, though he hinted that someday their top turntable (not built yet) may.

So for now, if you need two arms, you'll have to go elsewhere...

Again, I'd think about a Clearaudio, Raven or Acoustic Signature. I'm sure Ivan can hook you up with something from Clear.

So, purchase an original Diva for two arms and have it upgraded to SP status. Possible?

No, as that will change the subplatter, which will not work with two...
