Cart for VPI Scout? Blackbird, Ruby2H, Shelter 901

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, the 901.

I can't get and deals on the Dynavectors, so those are out.

I was also looking into the Sumiko Celebration.

Matt

Thank you!

How about a Benz Ebony LP?

Matt

Ok, I think I have narrowed my choice to a Shelter 901, and ZYX R100 Fuji FS.

I listen to mostly Jazz and Classic rock. What would be the better choice? I also want a superb tracker. Mistracking really bugs me.

Hi Raul,

What would you recommend? I want an excellent tracker, with beautiful, resonant midrange. I keep reading how the Ruby 2 was too colored. I had a brand new Ruby 2H in my hands today, I ended up selling it.

I'm a bit lost at this point, even considering a Koetsu Rosewood standard.

Matt

Thank you for your reply.

I can afford the Ebony H, but not the Ebony LP. I guess I could stretch it, but don't want to.

Is the 901 a bad choice?

Matt

Raul, see my new thread about the Wife.

Thanks for everyone's replies.

I dumped the Scout and put my spare table back in action, a Rega P25 with a modded RB250. The P25 killed the Scout in terms of rythmic drive.

I ordered a Dynavector 17d2 and a P-75, so we'll see how that goes.

Matt

Thanks, Genius. I have aluminum tape around the subplatter to bring the speed down. Want to try to comment on something again which you have no clue of what mods I have on my turntable?

Even better, comments from someone that hasn't even heard the component.

Thank you, Readster, that's all I'm saying. It's all about synergy as well.
