When I had the Scout, I used a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge that really sounded great. I also added a Cloud 10 isolation platform with a noticable result.
Dear Nolitan: Grado makes very good cartridges, I like it, and if you want a Grado IMHO the best you can get and that match your analog rig is : Grado Amber The Tribute, you can find it here:
I have a Sonata 1 on my scout and I thinks it's pretty fab. No problems with dancing, humming or anything else. No extra weight needed, but I think the Sonata is heavier than the Gold. Previously I had Ortofon 2M Bronze, which I enjoyed but I like the Grado better. The sound is a little bit less clinical. You can find good used Sonatas here on AG for very good prices. A used Sonata would be better than a new Gold.
