VPI - MINI HR-X FOOT UPGRADE FOR SCOUT


Does the VPI - MINI HR-X FOOT UPGRADE FOR SCOUT really make a big difference? I can't hear any vibration coming from my VPI Scout, so I am wondering if I really need that upgrade; or do you think I won't hear the difference until I hear it?

The mini feet are a worthwhile purchase. The original equipment cones get wobbly when raised even a bit. It therefore is more difficult to level the table with the cones, and not jeopardize its stability. I could be wrong, butI think that may be true as well for the Black Diamonds.
I agree, the feet upgrade, produces mimimal if any difference. I tried them and quickly returned them. Try Black Racing Dimonds. I have them under the motor and feet. Haven't tried the extra blet but will now do so.
I don`t think you can hear any vibration in your Scout, you may be able to feel it. If you are concerned about vibration I urge you to buy a Stethoscope from one of the popular drug stores, should be under $20. You won`t believe all the vibration you will find. Until your motor is sitting on it`s own isolated plinth, you will have excessive vibration creeping into your table and arm, realy messing up the signal.
The improvement in sound quality is mimimal. Adding an additional belt to the table or placing wool felt under the motor gives a bigger improvement.
