Would that be the 2x2 bear paw seniour that you would use on the Superscoutmaster?Can you reuse the threaded insert from the stock VPI cone footer or do you have to order the new threaded insert from eden sound www.vermontaudo.com 
Tube Rolling and the Quest for "perfect sound"
A manufacturer isn't going to have a set of $600 tubes sent out in new equipment, it's the same as getting the generic $3.00 powercord with equipment purchased. It's up to you to purchase the more expensive tubes just as it is with the powercord 
How many with analog rigs only?
100% vinyl now after putting together a vinyl system 2 months ago. I am thinking on selling the cd player, it's a lot of money sitting there idle. I was contemplating buying the Oppo95 for blu ray and if I ever play a cd and I would be up money to...

Esoteric E-03 Phono Stage
I am interested in purchasing this phono stage.I read in the 6 moons review that the EO-3 will let you hear any record defect as compared directly to the Audio Flight phono stage. Do the user's of the EO-3 find that a problem? I was considering th... 
VPI Scoutmaster Tonearms
Strngreen, I read your response that the 10.5 arm didn't give you that much difference over the 9. I have the 9 signature with vahalla wiring and inquired to VPI about going to the 10.5i to which they said there would be around a 20% benefit in so... 
Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ
It appears the replacement phono amp is the same size as yours. Have you asked if Simaudio can simply put the new phono amp face plate in silver on your unit? I know for fact they have done this in the past.

Hi, I have the same TT with the same arm and have to yet buy a cartridge. Jim, in your opinion, would the Dynavector XX2mk11 cartridge be a good match with the Superscoutmaster and 9 inch signature arm? Is the XV-1s worth stretching the budget fo...

You Still Need, What??
I liked some of your responses.I am lucky that I don't have to ask if I can buy that, my wife knows this is my hobby. She was however shocked that it was going to cost thousands more for a phono stage and cartridge. When I bought my last pre, I b...

Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8
I run a P-7 pre with a W-5 which will magically turn into a W-8 or W-7 mono's.I run Martin Logans which are an awesome pairing with the Sim equipment. In a room your size you could go for a used pair of CLX which would be in your budget or a pair ...
