Do enzymes only live for 8 hours
No, it's true. I work with enzymes. We keep them refrigerated as well. 
Rim Drive Super Scoutmaster (VPI)
I asked VPI about the rim drive for the single motor/flywheel and it is coming. It will accomodate the Scout, but there may be a height problem for just the Scout since it's plinth is a bit lower. I was told a couple months back it would be availa... 
Scout Mini Feet 45 RPM
No problems whatsoever here.. Where did you read there was a problem? 
Brubeck's "Time Out"
There's an SACD, but maybe that's the Sony you're referring to. 
Stand out phono stages
The Modwright SWP really should be on both lists. 
Modwright SWP 9.0se, Anyone heard it?
I have it in the SWLP. It's the linestage that includes the SWP and is exactly the same. I couldn't be happier. I can only say it totally outclasses the Whest I had before, and the Acoustech before that. Dead quiet, very resolving, tonally rich.. ...

spray paint? 
Built-in phono stages
I'm really happy with my Modwright SWLP. It has the SWP phono preamp incorporated into an upgraded SWL linestage. 
What If Wall Shelf Isn't Option For My Turntable?
Use wire cables to hang a platform from the ceiling, if you can. Worked great for me years ago. Once I got used to the floating shelf, was fine. No feeback or footfall thumps at all 
Sleeper preamp suggestions
Modwright 9.0SE. Can be found used at that price. Plus it's always upgradeable later should you get the urge 
Am I getting it all?
Yea, same with me Nearv. I have many titles in both formats and consistently the LP is better. The other exception where they are equal is recordings taken from digital masters. I don't buy records anymore that say 'digital' on them. My cd is a re... 
Am I getting it all?
I think Dan-ed asked the key question. How does digital better the vinyl? If you say better bass or upper treble, you may be missing the point. You may at this stage be listening too critically. All the setup suggestions above could be part of it,... 
VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install
Quick question Stringreen.. and sorry to deviate the thread slightly. When you got the 10.5i, did you get the jig too? Or was that additional. And if you used the jig, are you happy with the accuracy? Planning to upgrade as you did but my Wallytra... 
VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install
I'm pretty sure there's lithium already packed in the platter. VPI always puts a shot in the hole and tapes over the covering before shipping. 
VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install
It is a tight fit but the weight of the platter should be enough to slide over the bearing. You can try a drop or 2 of the oil they gave you on the bearing shaft. You shouldn't need to tap it in, and I'm assuming the bearing is mounted on the plin...
