Rega P25 vs VPI Scout


Just wondering if anyone has heard/compared both of these tables. My listeing tastes are mostly Rock/Jazz. I like a toe tapping/head banging, detailed type of sound.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The Rega P5 w/ Dynavector 10x5, musical, slam, attack and toe tappin. When set up , leave it alone and it rocks. The Scout is nice but to me too many variables.
I don't know what "too many variables" means. The Scout is certainly more flexible than the Rega and has substantially better bass. The Rega is a good table but, top to bottom, the Scout is superior.
I would have gotten the Scout had I not had 2 young kids. Instead I got the P5 which is a bit cheaper but has a real dustcover. The thought of my Dynavector 20X cart stuck in a glob of playdough was enough for me to leave my purism at the door for a bit of convenience.

I think the P25 is a step below the P5 and definitely much cheaper than a Scout.
The Scout is more of a Giant Killer and the Rega is a good TT for it's price. You decide.
