VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries


VPI just released these replacement feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries. Cost are $300 for a set, reasonable for Scoutmaster and above model. Has anyone tried them and how do they compare to something like Ginko platform or other isolation feet?

Personal opinion, I think they look very ugly on the Scout/Aries.

One thing I should have mentioned. I made a separate platform for my motor/flywheel that floats above the Cloud 11. The Cloud 11 moves freely underneath the motor and the table is completely isolated from the motor. The feet would most likely have a greater impact if the motor was also on the Gingko platform, helping to isolate motor vibrations from the table.
Though it is a subtle improvement given my setup, I'm actually surprised it's even that much.
Jwpstayman, are you still using a mat on your table? That may play into the equation too.
Jamn - I have used the Herbies Audio "Way Excellent turntable Mat" in the past, but it makes centering the VPI outer ring clamp a PIA, so I stopped using the mat. I have an oversized Cloud 11 (with 6 balls) and isolate the HRX Motor assemble even further by using DH (Lab) Squares underneath it. This also helps by raising up the motor assembly higher which means the belt is more towards the upper middle of the platter than the lower portion of the platter ( at least on mine). Keep in mind that the SuperScoutMaster I have was a VERY early version, so the (belt) height issue I am talking about might not be true for newer versions. Maybe the reason I felt the new feet made such a big difference has something to do with the stock cone feet on MY particular unit ??
Don't really know.. I'm guessing still the motors. You have 2 on that one, plus the flywheel. Have you tried taking the DH Squares out now that you have the feet? Not that you'd leave it that way, but would reveal how much isolation can be attributed to the squares and feet.
I have a Scoutmaster, with the Sig arm, the SDS, ring and weight, and the motor/flywheel combo.
Anyway, I agree that it is a worthwhile upgrade. Guess that's all that matters, but it's fun to dissect these tweaks and determine why they work.
