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.
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.
both are good tables, but look around first. a second hand table in nice condition is the way to go. there is even a systemdek(internal suspension) on audiogon which rivals the 5,25, and the scout for 360 with an arm. lots more too.
