Getting The Most Out Of My Scout

Most people like the Mint, I have not used one because I don't think my eyes are now good enough to get much benefit from it. Instead of the HRX feet I recommend Star Sound brass threaded cones, the 1/4 20 ones. I have directly compared them to the VPI on my Aries extended and they were much better. I am both a Star Sound and VPI dealer so have no favorite here. I have recommended them to several A goners and have had some very good responses. I am using them under both of my demo tables, tightens up the bass and increases the transparency. Actually more in line with Harry's general philosophy than absorbent feet. I am not sure the Super Platter is still available. I would not spend too much on the Scout, it is a very good table but you could move up to a used table from higher up the line cheaper than adding accessories to the Scout and you still would not have as good a table doing this. An SDS is always good as you can use it with most tables, VPI or other. If I were to buy another arm it would have a table attached to it. Use the Scout until you are ready to make a major move and them upgrade to a new table arm combination.
