VPI Scout "tweaks"
So a penny would be the least performance? 
VPI Scout "tweaks"
I placed a dime under the Aries 3 feet as it was digging into the wooden rack. This added a strange resonance to the sound of the turntable. I was able to get rid of it by applying blue tac to the dimes under and over to cover it. 
SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range...
I have the Sutherland PhD and am very happy with it. The instruments float in the air and the sound is a bit creamy. 
Problem vith VPI Scout and Dynavector 20XH
If you have a simple multimeter, you can check continuity between l and r wires from the cartridge end to the junction box end. This way, you'll know where the problem is.Make sure you check both hot and ground.
