| Just Bought a VPI Scout If I were you, I'd touch base with Mike at VPI. He will give you really good setup advice. You may be encouraged to buy a small weight for the headshell to make the cartridge and arm mate better. | |

| VPI 10.5i - Which armwands do I own? It looks like you have an aluminum, and a stainless steel arm wand. The sound is the same (it looks like they are both wired with Valhalla). The stainless steel one is newer. They changed it to accommodate more cartridges which require more heft. ... | |
| New to the black plates- looking for TT at 3K I also recommend a VPI Classic..nothing else is that good for that money with such valuable manufacturer's support. | |
