turntable speed?

Buy that Technics 1200 and get the KAB mods...

A motor controller will take care of your speed concerns and will give you an overall improvement in the sound of your Scout. The VPI SDS works okay; the Walker Audio motor controller is audibly better and worth the additional cost if the cost would be consistent with where you want to move your system over time.

With either one, a KAB strobe and disc, for verifying the precise speed of your table, is a worthwhile investment, too.

had the same problem with my basis 2500 running slightly fast and inconsistent due to line fluctuations and i purchased the Walker Motor Controller and the improvement was tremendous with improvements in low level detail, soundstage and a more precise timbre of instruments...highly recommended!

Rushton, Does the walker regenerate a perfect sine wave, and filter power like the SDS does ?

You know the funny thing about this post?

If Cmpromo's table had of been a Rega, the knives would have come out and fast! I can hear it now - the table would have been decreed a total piece of junk and the unanimous suggestion would have been to relegate it to the junk heap and buy a Scout. A Rega runs fast (most likely due to unstable power sources) and all of the sudden it's a total piece of junk on these boards. A Scout does the same thing (most probably for exactly the same reason) and the logical and correct answer is given….. interesting…..
