With the 300 RPM motor you get a bigger pulley with the slower speed and it just seems to be smoother and more consistent and, I believe, it has more torque. My original Scout has the acrylic platter versus the aluminum one on the Scout II, so I am not sure if it makes as much difference with the aluminum one. But, it made a big difference for me.
Upgrading a Scout II, Best bang for the buck??
Hi all
I have this TT for a couple of months now and was wondering what I could do to improve it. This is my first TT in many years so I don't have much experience with TT's and I really don't have anything to compare it too.
A little bit about my rig, I am using a NOS Shure V15 XMR, a phonomena II phono stage, a Linkwitz Orion 3 speaker system and matching Thor subs.
I have aligned the cart with a Mint protractor and its sounds very good as compared to my Sony XA5400ES cd player.
I was thinking maybe a VPI ring and center weight, possibly a better stand and maybe a 2" thick peice of granite to place the scout on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Frank
