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.

I upgraded from a Scout to Scoutmaster (and I also have the SDS). The difference is NOT SUBTLE. The Scoutmaster is noticeably better, as Slipknot noted. I found the bass is much tighter, the details much cleaner, and most importantly, the enjoyment much higher. It was certainly worth the reasonble cost ($975) for the upgrade.

I have not had the opportunity to hear the Super Scoutmaster, so I cannot compare. And to be honest, I am quite content (at least for now) with the rig I've got.
