From the many posts over the years about the Scout, Gingko platforms and maple butcher block type platforms seem to be the preference of many. I was very happy with the sound of a 3 1/2" maple block under my Scout, I thought it was essential to bring out the best in it. The only thing that bugs me about the Scout is how quickly enhancements like the ring & center weight quickly escalate costs into the realm of a better table altogether. Everyone's got different thoughts about things like that admittedly.
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
