Given the well documented variability of QC regarding vdH products, I would avoid them.

VDH the FROG on VPI Scout Lyra Dorian
My turntable is sounding a bit odd at the moment s bit of a hissing sound. It is hard to describe. But I think maybe my Lyra Dorian is worn out. I will have the turntable plus cart checked out to see if cart has been worn out or if there is an other problem.
But like a "true" audiophile I was already browsing the net to see what is available. I did notice that Lyra Cartridges have become a lot more expensive. If I remember correctly the Derian used to be less then $1000, the Delos is $1600. That is a big step up.
But then I ran into the reason why I started this topic. Someone is offering a VDH the FROG. For a really nice price. But I am not sure if it will work good with a VPI Scout. The specs of the FROG says that the effective arm mass should be between 8 and 14 grams. I am not sure but isn't the VPI just a bit to low? I think I have a VPI headshell weight somewhere. But not sure if that is a good idea.
