VPI HW-19 Jr. Upgrade


I am considering upgrading my VPI 19 Jr. w/AQ PT-6.
I've narrowed it down as the followings.

1. Upgrade my Jr. to the Mk4
2. Put the Scout platter and bearing on my JR
3. Upgrade to the Scout/JMW-9 and sell my JR./PT-6
4. Change JMW 10 Tonearm

What is my best bet in upgrading from my Jr.?
What kind of sonic improvement can I expect?

It would be very appreciate if you give me an advice.
Any other suggestions are welcome too.

You'll hear a notable improvement going from the Jr. to the MkIV. For all the hype over the Scout, I haven't heard one up close, but the Mk IV sounds great, and would be worth putting a very nice arm and cart on.

Bear in mind the Scout is an entirely different design from the MkIV, so if you like the HW sound and want "more of it", so to speak, then that's the way to go...I can't tell you what you want ;)
