My VPI Scout has arrived

After finding a little rock encrusted on the side of the box, I started sweating.....

But VPI packs the TT's very well, and no damage whatsoever, but to the foam.

Its a breeze to setup, and mine was up to spec pretty quick.

I am very very happy with this TT,,,,,its just quite an eye opener how good these things sound...I do get a jolt of static after I remove about teh 3rd LP....Is a rubber mat the only solution?

Here are a couple of pics: First LP's played were Richard Thompson's This Old Kit Bag and Mock Tudor...
The cart is the Dynavector DV-X20...

Droberts,,,I think that is a good idea to start with cheaper table but with good phono and cart,,,that way you will be absolutely certain of the sound upgrade that the table makes...

I really cant tell what percentage of the change is due to the table or the cartridge...I went from Grado Prestige Blue, to the Dyna.

looks great...your records looks a little dusty. make sure (if you don't already) that you put a good cleaning regimen into place, and clean that stylus between each play.

have fun...i love my scout.

To my own shame, I still dont have an LP cleaner,,,,a VPI 16.5 is in the near future plans! But i do clean them before I play,,,that dust just snuck in on me!
