VPI Scout 1.1 Turntable Record Player - JMW-9 Tonearm - Dust Cover
Here is a great sounding turntable from VPI - the Scout. It comes with a JMW-9 tonearm, Dust Cover, and a 1-3/8” aluminum platter. It is in very good cosmetic condition and works perfectly. The speed was checked with our speed strobe light and test disc and it keeps a steady and accurate speed. A power cord will be included in the sale.
Review Excerpt from Hi-Fi News (2015):
The Scout 1.1 is subtle in its approach to extracting the music from an LP’s grooves, and while the treble is not ultimately as revealing or focused as with some, what you do hear is very organically presented. The higher notes of Fretwell’s plucked acoustic guitar strings, for example, caught our attention every time as they escaped the tweeters with a natural twang before disappearing back into the mix.
The bass guitar in Morrissey’s ‘I’m Not Sorry’ [Attack Records] can often result in muddied bass that degenerates into boom. Thankfully the Scout casts aside the shortcomings presumed of unipivot tonearm designs by confronting the track’s bottom-end head-on and determinedly keeping everything in check. The resulting bass notes were convincingly low while sounding taut and free of unnatural overhang, adding to the track’s sense of power and pace.
And while the VPI’s imaging isn’t pinpoint sharp, the soundstage it sets out is expansive and open with instruments sounding full-bodied.
Verdict
The original Scout was something of a game-changer for those wanting a more user-friendly approach to high-end vinyl replay, and this new model promises even greater long-term enjoyment. The improved platter, PSU and superbly engineered tonearm make it excellent value.
