VPI Scout II questions

After Harry proclaimed the Classic the best table he ever made there is no incentive for dealers to carry them, not enough price differential.

Since I am a Dynavector dealer as well as a VPI dealer I will recuse myself on the 10.5. Two cartridges I like a lot that I am not a dealer for are the AT 33 EV and the Denon 304. Both Low Output MCs but you could get either and a Bob's Devices SUT and still be under $1000. J&R have the 33 for $399.99 on occasion. The OC9 is good also, I have an older one. Where are you getting the Shure, a NOS one?

I have the Classic set up right now, had a Scout, Scoutmaster, and loaded Aries Extended in the last year, as you might guess I am a VPI dealer. A friend of mine has a Classic which he likes better than the TNT he once had, I think it is a good table but not sure it is as good as the Scoutmaster and not nearly as good as the Aries, which cost 3x the money. So you pays your money and takes your choice; I am still confused about what happened to Rim Drive, which was going to be the NEXT BIG THING and seems to have fallen off the radar.
