Scout 1.1 Tonearm Comparison


All:

I see now that VPI is offering the Scout 1.1 with either the JMW-9 (not sure which version) and a new gimbled arm derived from the Traveler. I'd be interested in thoughts, comparisons, etc. I've got the original Scout with a 300RPM motor--worth an upgrade to the 1.1? Which arm?

I absolutely love my Aries table with the JMW 10.5i arm. Even though I've been into VPI for years, I find their model lines and upgrades a tad confusing (and sometimes a bit on the expensive side - $1200 for a SDS?!). The sheer number of platter & arm upgrades, along with the various tweaks is a bit bewildering, especially for new customers.
