The scout is a great turntable contrary to what I thought in the past which turned out to be cartridge issues. For the money, not many can compete. The Technics 1200GR is also a very good table that punches well above its price point.
VPI Scout 2 vs. Classic 1 vs MOFI ultradeck
Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my old Luxman PD 284 with Grado red turntable. I have always desired a VPI table, in part as I grew up nearby their factory. My spouse does not like the new sculpted plinths so I have been scouring the web for new old stock Classics. I have found a few as well as a couple of Scout 2's which got some great reviews in the past. The rest of my system is a Leben 600 tube amp, LFD LE phone stage and vintage Spendor SP1 speakers.
Any opinions on the Classic and the Scout 2 ( which won the all important wife's look test)? Or should I bag the NJ connection and but a MOFI ultra deck, or the Funk Firm LSD?
