| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Don't believe everything you hear. While I respect HW's informed opinion on antiskate, the very statement you quote makes no sense. Why would he advise people to twist the wire in the first place if no antiskate was better? Maybe antiskate is less... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. I'm using the antiskate. I find it to be a slight improvement worth the effort. Seems to clean up very slight distortion and maybe a bit better dynamics. I've gone back and forth, changed settings, on/off. Trust your ears is my advice. And if you ... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Remove the arm. Looking in there, I don't see how it could drain to the trough. It needs to be at least 2/3 full to make any difference. I fill it till it touches the base, and adjust from there. You have to look for oil slick at the bottom of the... | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade It took me almost 3 months to get the complete arm. They sent the wand and junction box first, then antiskate about a month after that, and the base a couple weeks later. I was able to get a pretty good idea of each part of the upgrade. It will be... | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade The scoutmaster is a very nice upgrade and you'll be able to get the ring later. But if it will be a long time before you upgrade more, I think I'd put the Signature arm at the top of the list.. at least the wiring upgrade. Also, you'll come out a... | |
| CD player vibration control .................. Another Neuance.. was surprised at the difference it made. I was firmly in the skeptics corner till then. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome I've had an Audience P/C on it as well as TG SLVR. I prefer the TG but both are excellent | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Nsufian, I used to own the AI and believe me this is much better. The AI, in comparison, has no soundstage and is very congested and grainy. Don't get me wrong. I was satisfied with the preamp and up to that point was the best I'd owned. It's a de... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome My Modwright is paired with McCormack DNA 1 RevA Gold and Vandersteen 3 Sigs. | |
| VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster How is the anti skate mechanism attached? It looks,in the only picture I've seen, to be possibly attached to the junction box. Seems more likely to be a different tonearm base altogether and attached there.Also wondering about the damping. Is ther... | |
| VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster It looks,in the only picture I've seen, to be possibly attached to the junction box.

| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome I'm also a Modwright owner. The 9.0SE replaced my CJ 17LS immediately after I compared the 2 in my home. In my opinion, it does everything right. Spacious soundstage, very dynamic, top and bottom extension and resolution, tubes but not too tubey. ... | |
| VPI periphery record ring for VPI Scoutmaster I noticed a very big improvement with the ring and weight. In fact, more than the SDS. Someday, I'll take the SDS out to see if I still think that. (It was added to a Scout, while the ring and weight were added to the Scoutmaster) It's a great upg... | |
| scoutmaster to super scoutmaster upgrade? I agree with you both. I've been upgrading since the Scout to the Scoutmaster, ring, and SDS and plan to do the tonearm as well. That's one of the fun things about this table.. the upgrading ability. It amazes me just how much these steps yield. G... | |
| VPI Scout to Scoutmaster upgrade options Or you can sell the table. Just add feet. I sold mine on Ebay for over $800. There's a few places to find cones very close to that size that work fine. |
