Pro's/Con's Of audiophile TT


Presently have a stock Kenwood KD990 Direct Dr. Thinking of upgrade to VPI Scout. Will I experience that much of a change in sound to justify this upgrade? I know it's weak, but, I am very fond of the auto lift at end of play. I am new to this level and am also worried about the day - day use. Here again, novice that i am, what happens at end of play? do I need to be right there to lift the tone-arm before it skids into the label? Do you get extra wear'n'tear on the stylus? Please help me!

You dont need to be right there, when it ends simply walk over and lift it off, sometimes a call or visitor will lead me to forget for a few minutes or so and its no big deal. Other than that feature its not likely there will be anyhing else better about the Kenwood over the VPI. With VPI (and since your new) does your room have good floor or stable rack so the VPI wont be affected by footsteps and such?....its not a suspended table.
The Scout is a fantasdtic value and happens to be one of those table where the sky is the limit if you want to upgrade it later, I say go for it!!!
Unsuspended tables are bad on unstable floors.........thats my point, pay attention.
