| Shortlist of best cartridges with VPI shelter 501 mkII. the sig arm is perfect for it. if you can deal with the long break in, you won't look back.i've also used and loved the sumiko celebration. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Aries???? actually, the scoutmaster does not offer the ring clamp. the super scoutmaster does. however, the scoumaster platter can accomodate the ring clamp. but i agree that it is a great turntable. i've owned one now for over a year, and did add the ring ... | |

| Phono amp recommendations the p75 is really terrific, but frankly if you're planning on using it with a non dyna cart, i'd suggest looking at somehing else. as many others including myself have said here and other places in the past, the pe mode for the 75 is it's strength... | |
| Phono amp recommendations you may want to give the allen wright designed jtli stage a try. i just got one from jay at audio revelation, and im very impressed. using it with a scoutmaster/jmw9 signature arm/shelter 501 mkII cart. it's extremely neutral and it's really helpe... | |

| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. without looking at it, that sounds about right, maybe even a bit more. i know it's not dead center. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. honestly the coffee stirrer trick didn't work for me. i use my eyes and ears. i try to get the cantilver& cartridge body as squared up as possible, and then listen. i'll use both mono and stereo lp's to get my center image as focused and stabl... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster - Anti-skate again.. if you're having image problems it could very well be you need to play with azimuth on your arm. the jmw9 is sensitive to this. for the record, my image is rock solid center, although when i haven't it's always been an azimuth problem. | |
| cartridge ideas $200-$300....... if you're pre can handle the low output of the dyna, and if the used one has relatively low hours on it, i'd say go for it. a very good cart, very musical. im using one a vpi scoutmaster and the dyna p75 pre and it's terrific. | |
| Sumiko Celebration Arming im using a celebration with the jmw9 on my scoutmaster and it's a terrific combination. vta adjustment is easy, although technically not on the fly. | |
