Get those feet of your VPI Scout right now!! Replace them with black diamond cones or Audio point cones. I swear it will sound like you bought a new amp!
Rack/stand for VPI Scout
Hi,
Just decided to join the black hole of vinyl and bought a VPI Scout turntable coupled to an Ortofon cartridge. Now, I have to buy a rack to sit the thing on. My Target 5T rack just won't allow both the Conrad Johnson Premiere 11A and the Scout to fit. I'm thinking about just going the cheap way and buying an amp stand for the CJ for around $100, but am afraid that setting the Scout on the top shelf of the Target won't make for good results. My wife also doesn't like the look of the amp stand because it only sits a few inches off the floor. A possibility is to just get a Salamander Archetype 2.0 for $100 and set the CJ on top of that and put the Scout on the top shelf of the Target T5 rack. Does anyone have suggestions for a rack/stand system that's less than $500 and would not adversely affect the sound of the Scout too much? I'd really like to stay away from wall mounted as I can't find the studs and i'm in San Francisco (earthquakes :-( Thanks!
