VPI Scoutmaster Tonearms


Hello All

Just curious I have a Scoutmaster with a 9 signature arm. Could I just switch out other arms that are complete or would I have to change the location where it is mounted. Was thinking about upgrading arm but do not want to drill.

Thanks and Good Listening

So long as you stay with 9" arms you should be fine; but check the piviot to stylus distance on Vinyl Engine to make sure. The VPI is a good arm; you will have to spend a fair amount of money to get a better one.
As an example I use to use Linn Ittok, Zeta, and Rega arms on the same cut out; but as I said, check to see if they are the same or very close on VE.
Agree 100% with Stan. If the S-P distance is off, you may have a tough time adjusting the over hang and alignment of your cartridge. Vinyl Engine is an excellent source which I used many times. BTW, the VE website can help you match your cartridge and tonearm with respect to resonant frequency. I think VE is pretty easy to surf, but if you have any questions, feel free to e mail me or post your Q here.
Thanks for the replies. Was thinking about going with a longer arm. Will check vinyl engine out.
