Although I dont have a lot of expereance here goes.Ive had my scout,arum beta s,acoustech ph1p, for almost a year,its sounded better as my set up skills have improved,in my set up a paving stone with mouse pad under moter and cones worked better than a maple butcher block which worked well under my preamp,the block under Scout seemed to soften things up to much,the paving stone worked better for me,I wonder if one of the isolation devices on the market might work even better yet,,also has enyone tryed the Scoutmaster upgrade? Ive learned a lot from Audiogon members .thanks

I picked up a Scout saturday.(my wife gave me the thumbs up) It has a Benz Micro Glider high output cart. Did I do good? The uni-pivot arm is really scary, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Am I set for a few years with the TT cart combo? Right now I am using the Creek MM phono stage, (which I feel is under rated) but I am planning on adding a phono stage to my BAT VK31SE. Any other advise from VPI owners?
I am excited about this purchase, but I can't talk to any of my freinds about it. They think I am already crazy for getting into this expensive hobby. They just don't understand my(our)obsession. At least my wife is accepting, her nickname is "the saint".
