VPI upgrades question...

I was wondering what would be more benefitial or more bang for buck upgrade...
This kit for 899.00 which includes:
• Scoutmaster sandwiched double chassis with Scoutmaster logo and serial number
• Corner assemblies mounted with new Scout cone feet
• 1/2" thick tonearm riser assembly and 16 gauge black junction box support
• 300 rpm complete Scoutmaster motor assembly (only works with Scoutmaster, height is preset for double thick chassis)
• Scoutmaster large acrylic platter (allows use of HRX Periphery Ring Clamp)
• Inverted bearing assembly (same as used on the $10,000.00 HRX!)

or just get an SDS device...

My TT is sitting on heavy marble slab resting on a double pine board with rubber feet between them...cart is the DV-20

You may want to look into a better tonearm.

hiya jack. you know my thoughts... get the scoutmaster and the outer ring clamp. Alephman suggests new tonearm, wont happen. the scoutmaster is made for the JMW-9, you cannot add a graham, sme, or even the rega rb900 - i checked with VPI on this one, as well as a couple online retailers, and they all stood by the JMW-9.

Actually the HRX inverted bearing is larger and heavier than the Scoutmaster's, they both share the same design on the bearing, but it's not the same.
