Stanwal, how did you decide to use the 1/4th-20 thread spikes? On Star Sound's sight, they recommend the 10-32 thread for VPI tables. I'd like to try this with my Scoutmaster but want to make sure I get the right ones.Also, are using the leveling ... 
what phono amp for a VPI scout with Lyra Dorian
Well, I think you could say that most gear have their own sonic signatures. That said, I don't feel the Mini Basis is dark. Now remember that I am using the MK II Exclusive version with the updated chip. I never heard the basic MKI version. And no...

Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Works beautifully. My vinyl looks, and sounds, so much cleaner after steaming than before. And steaming is easy. And with a RCM, it seems perfect. Don't know why anyone wouldn't want to at least try it. Unless they're afraid of damage to the vinyl... 
To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ?
I've experimented with damping with my Scoutmaster/20 XL, and found that about 1/3 full(maybe a bit less) is beneficial. Too much, as has been pointed out, isn't good, but for me, a bit is better than none.
