The Aries 2 will not accommodate a 12" arm. I have the Aries 2 EXTended with the JMW 12.5 arm. The dimensions are larger to accommodate the 12" arm. This is a killer turntable and I have not desire to replace it.
Difference between the VPI Aries 2 & Scoutmaster?
What sonic differences could one expect between these 2 tables. I believe the Aries 2 has the original heavy platter but I'm not sure. The question has been on my mind for some time. I have the SM sig and am satisfied with that table. But I have to wonder if the Aires line offers more and how much for the price difference? Considering the upgrade path for the SM one has to wonder if the fully modded SM will at least compete with the Aires line.
Any thoughts or experiences? Thanks
