The Scoutmaster is one hell of a good turntable especially for what they are going for used. Sold my Scoutmaster 2 years ago to purchase the prime, cheapest way I could get into the 10 inch 3D arm which I just had to try, the Scoutmasters double plinth added to the Sonics of the table plus the platter is 12 inch which will support the outer rim clamp which is a must on any VPI table and well worth the money. Bottom line is if you purchase a used Scoutmaster it could be your last turntable purchase and as far as the 3D arms go, they are nice but so are the metal arms.
VPI prime scout vs VPI scoutmaster?
I’ve been looking for a good table and was wondering if I could get some opinions on a new VPI prime Scout vs a second hand VPI scout master. There’s about a 700 difference in price and I was wondering if anyone has heard both tables and what kind of difference there is between them? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or opinions.
