Will there be a next gen. Lyra Dorian?
The 2013 Music Direct catalog states that a $500 trade in with the return of a used Lyra cartridge will be given with the purchase of a Delos cartridge. That would bring the price down to $1150. 
VPI Classic tweak
I used to have a Scout turntable for which I bought a straight, non variable speed pulley, which was close to the diameter of the 33rpm portion of the stock Scout pulley. With the SDS I could adjust for correct speed and also switch between 33 and... 
vpi super SSM rim drive vs grand prix monaco
You should also consider the Teres Verus rim drive system. It is much easier to set up and some who have made direct comparisons with the VPI rim drive found that it's sound quality to be better than the VPI. Also the Verus has it's own motor cont... 
Platform for VPI super scoutmaster

Graham arm on Scout
Tzh21y. I was addressing Maczurak with my post mistaking him for the original post. If you have a stock Scout plinth or even a stock SuperScout plinth it would be very difficult to mount a Phantom tonearm. Sorry for the double posts but I didn't s... 
Graham arm on Scout
I think that a nine inch Phantom must be mounted a little closer to the platter than a JMW-9 arm which might be a problem when using a periphery ring. A 10 inch Phantom may give you better clearance. I mounted an Origin Live Coqueror Mk3 on my Sco... 
Graham arm on Scout
I think that a nine inch Graham tonearm may require a closer mounting position to the platter than does the JMW-9 which may be a problem especially if you are using a periphery ring. I replaced my Scout arm with an Origin Live Conqueror Mk3 and wa...
