Rega P25 vs VPI Scout

REga if you want a fsty sound and they try to keep everything "tight" i.e. stiff to lessen viobration.Maybe a harder sound.But I'd but Scout because you have so manyu upgrade option.Can snd it in to made into a Scoutmaster,and something that would be an anathema to Rega get a second arm tube for anothe cartidge.Narrod is rightget the Scout.Really good arm,upgrade path and bit of edge on sound.But it may be a matter of taste.It might take taravel but they are both big companies and you can probaly find a place top ask for a head to head comparrison with same set up.Trick might be finding a place that will accomodate you with time involved in Cartridge swap or set it before your arrival

The Rega P5 w/ Dynavector 10x5, musical, slam, attack and toe tappin. When set up , leave it alone and it rocks. The Scout is nice but to me too many variables.

I don't know what "too many variables" means. The Scout is certainly more flexible than the Rega and has substantially better bass. The Rega is a good table but, top to bottom, the Scout is superior.

I would have gotten the Scout had I not had 2 young kids. Instead I got the P5 which is a bit cheaper but has a real dustcover. The thought of my Dynavector 20X cart stuck in a glob of playdough was enough for me to leave my purism at the door for a bit of convenience.

I think the P25 is a step below the P5 and definitely much cheaper than a Scout.

The Scout is more of a Giant Killer and the Rega is a good TT for it's price. You decide.
