Hi Stringreen, Great well thought out system.
Regarding your Super Scoutmaster I read where you just installed the 10 inch arm.
I maybe alittle premature asking you about the heard beneifits over the Signature 9 due to burn in of that Valhalla wire in your new arm.
I have a Scoutmaster with the motor speed control,ring and the HRX centre weight.
Its time for me to move up to a better table and arm.
I have three tables and arms on my radar to choose from.
One being the SSM with the 10 inch arm and super platter.
The other two tables are the V.P.I. TNT6 with super platter and a S.M.E. model 10 with a S.M.E. 309 or iv. arm.
There are several reasons why I like S.M.E.
One of them is a dynamic sense of life and natural timbre these tables and arms present with recorded music.
Early into the New Year I will put the TNT and the S.M.E. head to head and see.
With the new 12.7 arm on the V.P.I. and zero tracing problems with 12 inch arms,this should give an edge to the V.P.I.
However I'll have to hear them and see.
The dealer will not have on hand a SSM with 10.5i arm for me to hear.With the super platter and the 10 inch arm, the SSM should be a darn good table....
Makes me wonder about spending $2500.00 plus cartridge more for either of the other two tables.
