VPI Scout "tweaks"


My analog rig consists of a Scout with JMW-9, Dynavector 10X5, SDS, Sutherland Ph3d, VPI turntable IC, and Gingko Cloud 9. I have the geometry set via MintLP. The rest of my system is comprised of Vandersteen 2Ce sigs, Rogue Magnum 66, Anthem MCA-20 and Audioquest Diamondback IC's and Bedrock speaker cables.
It sounds really good so my question is...are there any upgrades/tweaks that will make a definitive improvement, short of buying a new table? I have about $1k to spend. Thanks in advance.

I placed a dime under the Aries 3 feet as it was digging into the wooden rack. This added a strange resonance to the sound of the turntable. I was able to get rid of it by applying blue tac to the dimes under and over to cover it.

If you use quarters instead of dimes you'll get a 5% increase in performance. It's the law of diminishing returns. ;-)
So a penny would be the least performance

Yes, but the most bang for the buck!
