currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade

own a scout 1 w/ classic platter and a AT ART9 MC cart, was thinking seriously of selling the vpi , because i just wasnt making that magical connection to the music i once did, moved to a  much larger room new larger spkrs , i finally sold my intergrated amps and bought a rogue audio perseus magnum preamp, rolled the tubes to nos holland amperex  bugel boys , bought a rogue audio stereo 100 amp , both pcs used , and the scout came alive again, , my point is i think the scout with a very good turntable combined with a very good cart so good that it might not be the real culprit, at least in my case it wasnt the weak link.I am in no way affiliated with rogue audio or any manufacturer period, but i cant contain it , rogue  perseus and stereo 100 is the schitznitz my friend, im feeding that into a pair of Tekton Lores, upgraded caps , Ive feel ive finally reached the tin can mountain top , glory attatched! Finally after 20 years of sucking my self financially dry i am listening to the music not the equipment, i deserved a break and am giving up the the hunt for better equipment to make me feel better.

My 2 cents! I put a eagle psu and a roadrunner  on my old scout 2 and it cost a pretty penny too, but i heard no improvements what so ever, i took the eagle off and used the roadrunner to see just what was going on in the 600 rpm motor, after trying all 3 grooves the top one was the slowest and closest to the 33.333 mark and pretty darn stable, i also learned if you pull the motor away or toward plinth it slows/speeds the platter rotation, My opinion the motor is aok and dont need those band aids, however if you just gotta see for yourself, recommend just buy the road runner and just adjust the motor position/pully groove to varify your eyes and wallet ads/sds/eagle just are not necessary, unless theres some voodoo magic in those cans i didnt hear goin on.
