Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b

VPI also now offers a dual pivot stabilizer, as well as a gimbal fatboy. I’d look into those options, as well as other options, before I went for a table with their usual unipivot - as a Koetsu lover the latter just makes me think of the tail wagging the dog. And as cool as the TNT is, a modern Rosewood Prime Signature looks a LOT slicker.

The Rosewood Prime Signature is mighty purty. An alternative to the TNT is the Aries 1, which with it's TNT-3/4 Delrin/aluminum/lead platter, is imo superior to the TNT-1/2. Cheaper and smaller, too.

As bdp24 stated the Aries 1 is a great table, there is one here or on another sales site with an SME 5 arm thru a dealer, as you have the Scout already, I am guessing the unipivot might not be an issue for you though. Enjoy the music

it was both of us.  My wife was intimidated by the turntable and wouldn’t use it at all, and I had to constantly play with the arm.  I bought the Scout used and I didn’t have as much of an adjustability problem with the Scout as with the Prime.   If the gimbaled arm was available at the time of purchase, I may have kept the Prime.  I said may because I would have still had the problem with my wife being intimidated by it.  
Regardless, we play lots of vinyl with the Technics now and we are both quite happy with it. 

@stereo5 , thanks for your response and I get where you are coming from, the unipivots are certainly not for everyone and it sounds like you and your wife have found your nirvana and playing a lot of vinyl and that ain't a bad thing. Enjoy the music.
