The Jolida is a good choice IMO, but upgrade the tubes ASAP.
VPI Scout Question
I am going to buy a VPI Scout here soon. I have a few questions.
What are your thoughts on B Stock units. They are $400 cheaper, but I don't want a broken TT. Are they all just cosmetic damages, or am I risking something worse?
I will be running this through a Cambridge 640P, and plan on using a Dynavector 10X5 cart. A B Stock Scout with the 10X5 cart will run around $1850. I can get a new Scout with the 20X2 MM Special cart for $2400. Is that worth the extra $550, or am I better off spending that on a better preamp to balance out my system?
