Rega P25 vs VPI Scout


Just wondering if anyone has heard/compared both of these tables. My listeing tastes are mostly Rock/Jazz. I like a toe tapping/head banging, detailed type of sound.

Any advice would be appreciated.

All I can say is you have to pay alot more MONEY, I mean alot more to better the Scout I assure you.

It will rival some of the very best tables at price no object.
And if you went for the latest Memorial arm with the silver wiring and use a top notch cartridge, I mean something that might cost more than the table itself, it will rival the very best out there.

I had GOLDMUND, ORACLE, Well Tempered, Orbe with SME and I know purchased the VPI Scout, Its not as good as the reference stuff I have had before but its pretty darn close and its a fraction of what I had paid for analog before.

I still enjoy listening to LP's as much as before and I have had the Rega units before, very nice units too.
What I am trying to say is if you own the scout and its calibrated correctly with a good cartridge, you could pretty much say that you have a top flying Analog rig!
