Re: VPI Scout Upgrade

The only limitation with the JMW9 arm is that lightweight cartridges need not apply. It is possibly a better arm, sonically, than the JMW9 Signature. The Dynavector Karat is not a great choice for the arm. Ideally, you want something that weighs over 8 grams.

That being said, you don't need the extra plinth of the Scoutmaster to get the better performance. You can upgrade the platter and get the peripheral clamp. You only need to change the capacitor in the motor to help the heavier platter combo get started faster. Otherwise, get the SDS.

This is a great turntable for the money when you add in the peripheral clamp and SDS. You really have to go up to the HR-X to get a significant improvement.
