Anyone using the VPI minifeet.....I got rid of them in favor of something called BearClaws (or paws, I fogot). Anyway, I thought the sound of my VPI Superscoutmaster was very impressive until I did the change. The difference is stunning. Much more open, prat, air, bass, etc., etc., etc. Check them out at Vermontaudio.com. I'm not part of the company...just very impressed at what these things did to my table. They are VERY heavy, well made brass feet that really do great things. Highly recommended.
VPI Scout vs VPI Classic
What sort of sonic differences can I expect between a VPI Scout with JMW9 tonearm and upgraded 300 RPM motor versus a VPI Classic? I really like the idea of having a stand alone motor versus the plinth mounted motor of the Classic but is that a moot point when comparing the sonics between the two? I've also found the clamping method to the acrylic platter with my Scout to ever so slightly reduce dynamics. Is the aluminum platter better in that regard? Are further tweaks possible with the Scout or is the Classic just in a different league regardless of Scout tweaks? By the way my cartridge is a Dynavector DV20X L and phono pre is a Dynavector P75 MK II using phono enhance. Thanks in advance for all responses.
