| If it's snowing, I'm going Good one on ya Snofun! I'm ready, I'm psyched, can't wait for the flakes to start flyin' at Stratton. If you see a dark green Xterra with a big Grateful Dead "steal yer face" on the back wavin' at you - it'll be me. Have a great year. | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Belt...Is Your's Still Going??????? If the belt is not too badly stretched, you may be able to get some more life out of it by putting into a bag of talcum powder and shaking it around. After only 3 months though, it sounds more to me like it may be a bad belt. Give Sheila at VPI a ... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Belt...Is Your's Still Going??????? No, two years now with no trouble. Is your belt the black nitrile? | |
| VPI Scout w/ JMW-9 vs Aries w/ JMW-10 Some folks are of the opinion that the Scout series are the Aries series with a smaller footprint. The stock Scout is usually pretty quiet if it's setup on a good stand/shelf combination. The 900.00 cost to upgrade the Scout to Scoutmaster is mone... | |
| VPI Scout w/ JMW-9 vs Aries w/ JMW-10 What do you hope to gain in the Aries that the Scout is lacking? What cart are you using with the Scout now, and do you have any thoughts about what direction you would go with the Aries? That said, have you given any thought to moving up to the S... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tom,Does the Cortese have a phono stage (I can't seem to keep all the models straight)? The Chenin has a phono stage using the 6922's, which are in the front most position. Confusing as both tube sets have a 9 pin configuration.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Slowhand,You got it: 6922's in the front. Then sit back and enjoy!! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner is correct. The switch layout on my Chenin is as described. HT bypass is between the towers, mute on/off front right side, switches closest to the 6SN7 tubes are high/low gain - left/right. | |

| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 Nope. Tried felt, Sorbothane, Herbie's (btw, am a BIG proponent of the Grungebuster for CD's though). Mats on the Scout/Scoutmaster deaden the sound and muck up the pace and drive. Harry Weisfield designs this way for a reason. Give that platter a... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster At the very base of the tower, there are TWO setscrews: one on the side near the cueing arm, and one on the back.Both of these must be loosened. Then use the knurled adjustment nut to move your VTA up or down, then retighten the setscrews. It only... | |

| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 No, and none. The acrylic platter/clamp system are designed to provide you with all you need for great playback. Most aftermarket mats are designed to compensate for a platter deficiency. | |
