Re: New into records, help, Rega vs VPI

I don't think you'd be disappointed with the Scout. The Regas are good as well, but I ended up getting the Scout because it sounded better to my ears. The Scout also matches well with a wide range of cartridges. Dynavectors and Clearaudios are good matches that I've tried personally. VPI also recommends Grados for the Scout.

When I was shopping for a tt, I called a San Jose dealer about the Scout, who seemed to have a hard time getting them from VPI. I wonder if this is an issue in your dealer's recommendation. I've also heard of another dealer trying to steer customers away from the Scout to a Pro-Ject or some other inferior tt for no good reason. The best thing to do is to listen for yourself instead of relying on the dealer's recommendation.

Good luck!
