well, its been close to 4 years and I still have the humble scout. I will say that I believe it is one of the best values in audio out there. Listened to many tables and my final thoughts are if I am going to upgrade and have it make a measurable difference, I believe it has to be an aries or better in VPI lineup. Thats not to say that the prime or classic are not good. If you are just buying the first table, by all means they are great if you want to start with a great table but in my opinion for what its worth, I would rather buy more records and save for an aries, SME, basis, well, you get the idea. I think you have to spend at least 5 grand to make it worth it. I am not saying that because I have a scout but I have not heard anything that presents music in such a way for the money. YMMV but the Aries is the table I heard that really takes you to the next level in the VPI lineup. for me at least.
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
I have had a scout for about 5 years and I am looking to upgrade. I have heard the vpi classic and although it sounds decent, I am not sure it necessarily sounds better or better enough to my ears. How much do,I have to spend to see a,significant difference? I have not heard many tables because there are not many available locally. Any suggestions would,be appreciated.
