VPI HW 19 3.5 w/REGA 300 vs. VPI Scout w/JMW 9 arm
I am considering one of the above tbales as an upgrade from a Music Hall 2.2. The amp and pre-amp will be Conrad Johnson (still looking for phono - something like a Minimax). Any insight would be greatly apprecited.
Thanks for the insight. The prices are close and one comes with a Dynavector the other with Grado cart. I am thinking that a newer table would be a safer bet. Is there any issue with the 19 or the Scout I need to be aware?
Actually the Scout will cost me about $200 more, has the full dust cover a new cart with les than 100 hours on it and one bonus goody which the HW 19 does not have. I will have to drive an extra 2 hours each way, but I think overall it will be well worth. Thanks guys all your posts were and are very helpful.
Ended up with a Scout w/out a dustcover for less than the HW19. I was able to source a dust cover separately and still kept the cost below the HW19. I am liking the sound so far.
