I while back I started a thread regarding the aluminum platter vs the acrylic. VPI currently just offers aluminum. I believe the well tempered is acrylic. I know many will disagree but the acrylic just sounds more like real music to me than the aluminum. So I would bet the Well Tempered would fit my needs better. I have a VPI scout and have both platters. The aluminum sits in the box and I will probably sell it. I just do not like the overall tone of the table with the aluminum. ymmv but the acrylic just sounds more real to me. i will say the that the aluminum is much more lively and seems a bit quieter. maybe with the right turntable platter mat it would be ok.
Vpi Prime Scout (New) vs Well Tempered
I am a new member and I need some help. I'm looking for a new turntable to replace my Clearaudio Emotion with Concept mc cartridge and ended up in two choices: Vpi Prime Scout(New) with Kiseki Blue cartridge and Well Tempered Versalex with Soundsmith Zephyr cartridge. Is there anybody who has listened to these two choices in comparison? My music preferences are Jazz, classical, folk and indie music. Which is the best & most value for money choice for me?
Thanks
