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?
Thanks for the overwhelming response...
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!
Paul, thanks...
I know the Frog is amazing, but its quite expensive, is it not? Around the $2000 range, right?
Hm..i will have to consider your comment...
Thanks
