The C1 crossover is at 1.8K so modifying this would not be an option for limiting the low end response. If you want to limit the low end response sent to the C1’s, place an active crossover between the pre/power amps and direct the low pass to the... 
My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go
Desalvo55,I have used C1’s for the past three years in a 2.2 configuration with a Simaudio W-3 power amp in a 15’x13’ room. I decided to use a monitor/sub configuration as this allowed to purchase speakers with the best sonic characteristics for t... 
Getting The Most Out Of My Scout
You have the Scout on a wall shelf mounted to the upper portion of your cabinet. Have you tried placing TT on a solid table somewhere else in your room? I wonder if this might allow you to gain some additional performace from what you already have...

VPI anti-skate device

Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
This steamer is also not available where I live. I ended up purchasing another hand held unit that was available locally. I would suggest looking for one that has a right angle adaptor so you can direct the stream of steam down toward the LP if yo... 
Has anyone added a second belt to their VPI Scout
I have a spare belt for my Scout. I added the belt to the 300 RPM motor pulley and adjusted the platter speed. Everything was flat and dull sounding with the two belts. Popping one belt off restored the energy and dynamics.Even if there wasn't a d...
