Alternatives/improvements to VPI Aries Scout
I have a Spectral (30pre; 150power)/ WATT Puppy system and decided to buy a turntable as an occassional signal source for my LP collection. I ordered the Scout/Dynavector combination with the Creek OBH-8SP pre-preamp....on August 1, and it's still not shipped. What would you recommend as a totally low maintenance, no-fuss alternative that is least susceptible to feedback. I'm looking for something that is a table/tonearm/cartridge combo, for about $2k. I obsess over things but frankly don't have the time or bandwidth to obsess over a turntable. (used to have Goldmund Studio and got rid of it because of maintenance). Thanks for your ideas.
