Most of the time you really can't trust Stereophile's recommendations but this time they are absolutely right when it comes to the Scout. This thing truly is a giant killer. Other turntables in it's price range are just toys compared to it. And you really have to get your source right first. I learned that the hard way. This hobby can be frustrating as hell but you won't be disappointed with the Scout I promise.
scout or new amp
i've asked for help elsewhere, so i apologize if it's repeat for some of you, but im trying to get as much feedback as possible. currently, im using a mmf-7/benz glider L2, with a grado ph-1 phono(which i really like) a nad c-370 amp and paradigm reference studio 20 v2 speakers. i'd like to upgrade, and will have about $1500-$2000 to spend. ive really been bitten hard by the scout hype, and would love to buy one. but previous feedback i've received has suggested that the improvement in my system would be much greater if i upgraded the nad, so im also looking seriously at the lfd mistral le. assuming it's either the table or the amp, what do folks here think would make the most sense?
