What cartridge for a VPI Super scoutmaster/JMW9 ?

There are three cartridges I have heard with this table. They are the Lyra Dorian,Dynavector 20XL and Denon 304. In my opinion can't go wrong with any of these. But if push comes to shove I would go with the Lyra Dorian. I felt the Dorian was the best overall match with the tonearm and the sonics were spectacular, just liquid signature with a dimension of space that others lacked. The Dorian with this table had a way of bringing you into the music in a very special way that is hard to describe. All three are low output moving coils.

VPI arms and Dynavektor or Benz cartridges are best.

That's not true at all.

Clearaudio, Zyx, Lyra, and a handful of other cartridges will function just as well or better.

Grado works well too.

So no consensus, looks like several options will do the job. Thxs

I have a Scoutmaster JMW9 combo. I have owned a Dynavector 20X-H, a Shelter 501MKII, and now a Zyx Airy III. All work well. The better your set up, the more you'll get out of your cart. I enjoyed all 3 carts. The Shelter was smoother and more detailed than the Dyna, and used is only about $150 more than the Dyna. The Zyx Airy III cost much more($1400-2700) and requires alot of attention to detail to get the most out of it, but if your set up has the resolution it is worth it.

i use a Lyra Argo i and like the results.

Benz Ref3 sound great on my dads Scoutmaster
