| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade Rushton,I think what has happened in my turntable journey, is that the sum of the parts has created a synergy. Each tweak, upgrade, addition has served to enhance the fine properties of the stock table. The Signature tonearm with the Nordost wirin... | |

| DEALER IN N.Y. TO UPGRADE SCOUTMASTER The Scoutmaster is an excellent table in it's own right. Before you start chasing your tail and spending more money,Raul's advice seems to be the best approach at this point. Make sure your cart is properly set up. If you are happy with the alignm... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster Owners: Another Question As tight as they need to be in order to ensure that the table is perfectly level on it's shelf. Depending on the shelf your table is sitting on, one or two may be "ratcheted" down further than another. Put a spirit level on your platter and adjust... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Nickatkins and Dlwask,Any thoughts on where to add the damping fluid? The hole at the top of the tower, or remove the arm wand and add directly to the well? I can't really tell from the directions... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rush,You're right, it's NOT a good thing. The "Soular Energy" LP after it was more like it should be. Maybe my ears were still in work mode for the Bach. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper with a 10 foot high cello resonating around the lis... | |

| Mood lighting Depending on what mood I am trying to set we use different lighting schemes in our listening room.We have incadescant "eyeball" cans in the ceiling that wash the walls behind the speakers. These are controlled by a Lutron Smart Dimmer system.Behin... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Today, so far. The new arm is going through it's run-in. After about 10 hours or so, the highs are still forward and the bass is a tad lean, owing mostly to the burn in needed on the Nordost Valhalla wire and the 20 or more hours needed to cure th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The only thing on my platter tonight are lttle beads of sweat from installing the new JMW 9 Signature tone arm. Requires a complete dismantling of the stock arm down to the plinth, retaining parts, and screws from it and a complete reinstall of th... | |
| VPI Scout and Scoutmaster owners. Nick,Nice review of installing the upgrade. I had almost the identical experience myself. I recieved my upgrade directly from VPI yesterday (12/16) and did the install today. My setup was also missing a set screw from the counterweight and there w... | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote Thanks for the link. Ten days of Bach - no need for Christmas discs now, with the exception of "Blue Yule" and "Jingle Bell Jazz" | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade Stiltskin,Six weeks and holding, awaiting the new siggy arm. Sent Sheila a check for the upgrade, she told me to hold onto my arm until they ship me the new one. Good thing too. Other wise, I would be six weeks so far without my TT. Me thinks VPI ... | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Give a listen to her performance at Woodstock. Same thing, only 36 years younger. Just her style I suppose. Bob Dylan: if you take him only at his voice... I guess it's the whole package. | |
| Goin nuts deciding which Scout upgrade Both the Scout and the Scoutmaster really benefit from the addition of a motor controller. The VPI SDS is around 1000.00, and the Walker Precision Motor Controller http://www.walkeraudio.com around 1700.00 (with the Valid Points and Discs). Stable... |
