Well, with the Scout, I can't complain about the sonics of it, its as good as I've had it, even with the MC of a Dynavector 10x4, which I should upgrade before upgrading tables. But there is a good deal out there on the Aries and the JMW-10 should be less ressonant and provide a quieter backgound, correct? as well as the plinth. But I am really just hoping to get more quiet from the table, with more details and speed. Am I wrong on this assumption that the Aries is better in these qualities?

You're all right, price point upgrade is key... I got the scout used and wouldn't lose too much upon selling and upgrading...what do you think if the Aries and JMW-10 was $2000? I am sure I can get $1000 or so for the Scout, so, its a $1000 upgrade, and you're right...its probably not too smart...I think the upgraded motor to SDS or cartridge, which I've been thinking, is a better investment. Thanks for the responses. I was thinking Van De Hul cartridges, but they are expensive, what about a Shelter 901 used or and Orfoton... Any other suggestions on the cartridges? Thanks!
