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.

The AT 33 is high enough to work well in the Scout arm; I use one in a Graham 2.2. I have used a Denon 304 in a Scout arm and it has a similar complience if I remember. Most cartridges will work in a 9 gram mass arm which is about the mass of the Scout arm. The only Classic I have sold yet was with a Denon 103, sounded good to myself and the buyer; it is a little higher in mass than the 9" Scout arm as it is 10.5".
