Cart for VPI Scout? Blackbird, Ruby2H, Shelter 901

It's a medium compliance, low output cart. While i am not running mine through a p75, I am running it through a phono stage that has switchable gain and loading. in my situation, I like the gain set to high and the load at right around 1000 ohms. Under a thousand, in my setup, is a little too "soft" and at 47K, a little too "brittle". I can choose loadings of 100,1000,10000,47K ohms.

Again, this is with my setup and my listening biases. YMMV.

great info slipknot, thank you.

Reade.

I recently setup a Super Scoutmaster with a Dynavector
17D2 cartridge and the P-75 phono stage. I checked with
the Dynavector distributor, and he said that the P-75 is
best matched with the 17D2 in the phono enhancer mode at
the high impedance setting. That's what we went with and
the setup sounds superb. Hope this helps. ENJOY!!!

Bill, thanks, that is good info to have, i thought about calling dynavector also, so i appreciate it.

Thanks for everyone's replies.

I dumped the Scout and put my spare table back in action, a Rega P25 with a modded RB250. The P25 killed the Scout in terms of rythmic drive.

I ordered a Dynavector 17d2 and a P-75, so we'll see how that goes.
