the scout is currently in my system, and may be the last turntable i'll ever own...before the scout, my favorite tables where the rega 9 and a vintage thorens jubilee. i auditioned the roksan,but found it a bit thin in the midrange compared to the scout. the pro-ject hasn't been in my system, but one of my closest friends swears it not only sounds better than his rega 25 and my scout, but says the build is bullettproof. many think the scout is the 'convenience' version of the larger and costlier vpi aries...i'd have to agree.
Roksan Radius 5 vs VPI Scout vs Pro-ject RM-9???
Need help deciding between Roksan Radius 5 or VPI Scout with Dynavector high output MC 10X5 or 20X and the Pro-ject RM-9 with the new Blackbird cartridge.
Running all tubes for pre and amp.
Scout gets the best reviews, but we all know how useful those are...
I have heard people question the quality of the Pro-ject. Anyone own one and have any comments???
I have heard little of the new Radius 5 except the review in TAS which basically said it's nice and can rock and that's it.
My wife likes the looks of the Roksan and the Pro-ject better but everyone I talk to says go for the VPI.
HELP!!!
And before you mention it, the wife nixed the Horizon so it's not an option.
