Comparing VPI Scoutmaster to Pro-ject RM10


I've got a VPI Scoutmaster and I'm bored. I'm thinking of making a lateral move to the Pro-ject RM10 because it won't cost me anything. What can I expect as far as a change in sound? Right now my Scoutmaster is on a Ginko Cloud and I've got the outer ring clamp. I'd probably add the speed controller to the RM10. Anyone care to comment on the differences?

I am not going to try to talk you out of a change as only you know what will work for you but I heard the HI-Fi+ analog demonstration at RMAF this past fall (recap in issue 55 I think, I can check for you) and heard an HRX, VPI's top of the line, sound alternately vague and boring or captivating and personal depending absolutely on set-up. It could be that yours has drifted out of alignment in one or more parameters. Let me know if you need more information from me regarding this article or if you think it may help with your issues.
