VPI Scout and Scout 1.1 Question

Harry will tell you yes, I will tell you yes. The acrylic age for Harry was nothing but adding to profits. You would think by now that 'the' material would have surfaced. But no, Harry will be playing this game on your pocket book forever. Don't get me wrong, Harry does make good products, value is another story.

"Upgrading" is subjective here. I believe the change was done for profit and not performance. VPI makes "improvements" like this and then raises their prices while cutting manufacturing costs. The acrylic platter and isolated motor can still be found on their top of the line decks. That speaks volumes to me as far as upgrades go.

Buconero, who is Harry?

If I remember correctly, there were production issues with the acrylic and the cost was going up. The aluminum was less expensive to manufacturer to the desired specs, I believe.

Dtc, the vpi platter manufacturing problem was mainly attributed to the Delrin and stainless steel sandwiched VPI Super platter, not their acrylic platters.
