I have had both the Scoutmaster Sig (not the "2") and the Clearaudio Performance. I thought the Clearaudio was a much better table. In my system it was much warmer, fuller, faster, and just all around better. The Scoutmaster always seemed bright. I had them both on isolation platforms, and I did have the perirphery ring with the Scout. The Performance was still much better in my system.

With that said, I must tell you that I now have the VPI Classic, and to me it's in another league from either of those rigs. I wouldn't trade you both of them together for my Classic. I love this thing.
