Comparing VPI Scoutmaster to Pro-ject RM10

I've got a VPI Scoutmaster and I'm bored. I'm thinking of making a lateral move to the Pro-ject RM10 because it won't cost me anything. What can I expect as far as a change in sound? Right now my Scoutmaster is on a Ginko Cloud and I've got the outer ring clamp. I'd probably add the speed controller to the RM10. Anyone care to comment on the differences?

If you're bored, consider the VPI drive wheel upgrade. That might add rhythmic persistence and slam that should make playback more exciting.

In case you haven't done it (most likely you have), perhaps changing the 0.1 and 0.47 uf caps in the Seduction might result in an increased musical benefit for you? Cardas, Mundorf or some other boutique cap might do the trick for you.

Yes, I've upgraded the caps to teflon and I love them!!

Anyone else care to compare/contrast the bass performance, midrange, detail etc., with these two tables?

Call me crazy but I bought a RM-10. I think it's a VERY nice table. Compared to the VPI it sounds a little more laid back and a little warmer. Just what I was looking for.
