Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout.

I went from P3 to VPI scoutmaster and had a good WOW! what´s good is that there will be quite many upgrades available so you do not necessarily need to change the TT to improve (buy with as many extras as possible if you´ll go this route, it will probably be cheaper than buying one after the other). i´m pretty confident that i won´t change anytime soon into anything else, very good value for money indeed (going up in a way that makes huge difference would need a ton of investment here, which i prefer to spend for music or to the overall system (speakers, amps etc)). i had the same dilemma, but after some research here and elsewhere and waiting for a good offer i went for the scoutmaster (if you want to have the same WOW, have a P3 first;).

Craw 13,

I listen to mostly Jazz these days, Ray Brown, Ben Webster, Louis, Ella, Oscar Peterson. Lots of vocals. Do a decent amount of Classical and still go to classic rock and heavy metal every once in a while.

All of the help here has been AWESOME!!! I thank all of you so very much!

Hey Craw13 --- should I still be "holding" my Red P3-24 for 'ya? LOL.

I just bought a B-Stock Scout at MusicDirect paired with a Dynavector 10X5. They installed it for free. Total cost $1794. Everything arrived in perfect condition and I cannot find any cosmetic blemishes whatsoever on the so called "B stock". I guess VPI is into perfection.

I also have B&W speakers (801's) and the combo sounds phenomenal. I can't believe this is an entry level table. It's like the deal of the century. Wow.

Kimber Kable Silver Streaks used throughout. Classè amps.
