You might want to try the Black Diamond Racing record clamp. It's $300 but makes the other clamps look bad. You can get it from Music Direct. If you don't like it or don't think it's worth the scratch you have 30 days to send it back. My one piece I had for years threaded out on me so I got the stainless one. Then I noticed the BDR in MD catalog. The guy talked me into it and I figured what the hell, got 30 days. This clamp kicks ass even over the stainless besides being drop-dead gourgous. The only thing I don't care for with VPI is how are you going to get accurate antiskating twisting the tonearm wires? Don't care for their tonearms.
VPI Scoutmaster questions.........
Is this table much of an improvement over the Scout? How close could I get with a Scoutmaster with upgrades to the performance of the Superscoutmaster? I am getting close to purchasing my first and hopefully only table (don't want to buy and then upgrade six months from now) soon. I would appreciate any words of wisdom from the turntable crowd. And please don't tell me to get a Teres as I don't have then kind of coin or patience to wait that long. No offense to Teres owners as they are obviously superb machines. Thanks for all the help. You guys and gals make this hobby so much easier for me. I greatly appreciate your help and efforts.
