Congrats on the Scout! Had a Music Hall MMF7 and found the upgrade to the Scout well worth the price. I've tried both felt and rubber mats, but have gone back to using nothing on the Scout. Just sounds better that way IMHO. Am using Cardas ICs into the phono stage of my pre and have a Grado Sonata cartridge. Have not had any trouble with static. Anyone have any suggestions about a good MC cartridge to move me beyond the Grado?
My VPI Scout has arrived
After finding a little rock encrusted on the side of the box, I started sweating.....
But VPI packs the TT's very well, and no damage whatsoever, but to the foam.
Its a breeze to setup, and mine was up to spec pretty quick.
I am very very happy with this TT,,,,,its just quite an eye opener how good these things sound...I do get a jolt of static after I remove about teh 3rd LP....Is a rubber mat the only solution?
Here are a couple of pics: First LP's played were Richard Thompson's This Old Kit Bag and Mock Tudor...
The cart is the Dynavector DV-X20...
