Scout no doubt. How much does the Polytable weigh? The Scout is a solid table with excellent build quality and components. Can't go wrong and consider resale value.
VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable
Currently I have a Thorens TD-150 with a Rega RB-202 tonearm and 2M Bronze cart.
It is a great setup, but for 2017 I would like to upgrade my TT. Currently I am looking at either the VPI Scout or the GEM Dandy PolyTable with Jelco SA-750D Tonearm.
The PolyTable clocks in at $1795.
The VPI Scout clocks in at $2199.

Be interested to hear what everyone thinks.
Thanks!

@raymonda thanks for the insight... you might be on to something. I really do love my TD-150. It is completely refurbished, and has a custom walnut plinth to match my amp/phono pre. The biggest frustration I have is not with the table but with the footfall I am getting due to it being on a wood floor, on a crawl space. I am going to look into some ways to improve isolation. Maybe something like this to get started: http://herbiesaudiolab.net/compfeet.htm |
