Just Bought a VPI Scout

WOO HOO!!!
I finally spent the dough and bought a Scout. I already have two LOMCs on hand, a Denon 301mkII and an Audio Technica AT-33EV. Will these carts match up well with the JMW-9 arm? I'm using a Monolithic Sound phono stage with an Audio Experience Solo tubed step-up. Any advice/opinions from Scout owners out there will be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Sam

Wow!
Thanks for all the info folks. It sounds like I should be able to use either of my carts with good results. If not, I can always sell them and try something else. This all should be a bit of fun for me. I haven't had a new table in twenty five years.

I'm trying the AT-33EV with it first and, so far, I'm getting good results. Setting this thing up is tricky, but fun. I want to try my Denon 301mkII next and I'm wondering if I should use the 3 gram cartridge weight with it. That would bring the weight of the cart from 6 grams up to 9 grams. I suppose I should try it with and without and see how it sounds. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion.
Thanks, Sam
