I have a Superscoutmaster....when I changed to the super platter (all metal) it really opened up the sound. There are 2 motors that oppose each other and put on a rim drive. The table improved yet again...then mounted big brass cone feet under....all improvements. I use a 10 inch plastic (or something) vpi arm with a 2nd pivot...all good.
How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables?
I've always loved the elegant look of the Aries but never owned one. Well I have scratched that itch and purchased one right here on Agon and it's en route right now. Seems to be pretty stock with the 10.5 arm and a possible motor upgrade, excellent condition. Has this turntable aged well? All thoughts are welcome.
