VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question


I know they went from acrylic platter to the aluminum platter on the Scout 1.1 My question is, is there really a difference in sound quality in music by upgrading from acrylic platter to the aluminum platter?

In a word...YES!! It sounds like the whole top end of the orchestra was missing with the acrylic when you compare them.
I just spoke to Jack from VPI, he also said that the aluminum platter will also give you more bass. It's hard to believe that the material of the platter makes a different.
One person says the new platter gives you
more top end, another suggest the new platter gives you more at the low end. If it does both then does it really do anything?
