I would get rid if the phono first. That to me is your main bottle neck now.
VPI Turntable Upgrade
I currently own a VPI Scoutmaster with the following options:
- VPI Scoutmaster turntable
- VPI JMW-9 Signature tonearm
- VPI Periphery Ring + VPI Center Weight
- VPI SDS
- RSA F-117 Nighthawk MM/MC phono pre-amp
- Dynavector DV-20X Low MC cartridge
Would there be any benefit in upgrading to a VPI Classic 3 and still keeping the following options:
- VPI Periphery Ring + VPI Center Weight
- VPI SDS
- RSA F-117 Nighthawk MM/MC phono pre-amp
- Dynavector DV-20X Low MC cartridge
Or would I be better off keeping my VPI Scoutmaster turntable & options and upgrading to a Lyra Delos MC cartridge?
