currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade


I have had a scout for about 5 years and I am looking to upgrade. I have heard the vpi classic and although it sounds decent, I am not sure it necessarily sounds better or better enough to my ears. How much do,I have to spend to see a,significant difference? I have not heard many tables because there are not many available locally. Any suggestions would,be appreciated.

Great comments above.

I second Stan's (Stringreen) comment about a cartridge upgrade. I used to own the Delos ... it's a "Tony The Tiger" great cartridge. But I moved up to the Kleos, its bigger brother. IMO, the Kleos is even better.

I also think Mat Weisfeld (VPI) is putting some good options out there for you too. I own an early version basic Classic plinth. I've made a number of incremental upgrades that have noticeably improved its performance, such as a DIY install of the Classic 3 base and wand, a VPI periphery ring and steel record clamp. My next tweak is to install a VPI 300 rpm motor as a DIY project. After that, Bear Paws.
