I'd say you're maxed out, if you care about value for money. I'd never plow any more money into a Scout than you have. It seems a much better plan to just sell the Scout and buy something better. VPI's upgrades are expensive. Upgrading the cartridge is a different matter, go for that if anything.
VPI Scout Upgrade Path Help
Hello,
I have a VPI Scout with the following. (See below) What would be the next logical upgrade for the VPI? I am considering a platter upgrade but the superplatter is a little pricey. Should I go with an Aries platter (to eventually accommodate the outer clamp?) I am looking to spend under 1k so replacing a major component in the chain is probably not an option. As far as the Scout goes is it the law of diminishing returns at this point given what I have already esp given the cartridge I am running?
