My entry level was the Scout. Right out of the box, I found it very bland but after lots of tweeking, it was excellent. Cloud 10 isolation platform, Mint protactor set up protractor, Ortofon P windfield Cart, Synergistic research tricon interconnect. It was kick ass but took a lot of $ to get there
Scout drive upgrade
I've had some expensive tables and am back to a humble, stock Scout, which I think is an amazing performer when properly isolated and given a good cart & phono preamp.
I've been listening to it for about six months now and the only thing that does occasionally intrude on my listening is it's noticeably non-exemplary speed stability. Looking at the rubber belt drive, it seems to me that must be a weak point.
I would appreciate suggestions on improving the drive system, either by using a different belt or possibly a total replacement (rim)?
