I have a VPI Scoutmaster with Soundsmith Zephyr Mk II cartridge, jmw memorial arm, a stainless steel vpi record clamp, playing through a Musial Fidelity KW500 integrated amp with on board phono stage. Sounds quite good, but my question is this: would I be better off at this point adding an SDS or an outboard phono stage? Or both? In what order? Thanks!
I spoke with Matt at VPI today, and he says it doesn't really matter how you do it. He says he has seen his father (Harry) leave it turned on for weeks at a time, using the tt motor switch. There is no harm in doing this, apparently.
