Overview
The ScoutMaster II is essentially two Scout plinths bolted one on top of the other with a solid steel plate sandwiched in between. An Aries platter and bearing assembly, a newly designed 300RPM motor inside an aluminum housing, the new JMW-9T tonearm and a revised tonearm mount complete the package. The ScoutMaster II is a full 15 pounds heavier than its little brother, but shares the same compact 19"x14" footprint. This is the perfect table for someone who wants greater performance than the Scout offers, but isn't ready for the commitment of an Aries table. Once again, VPI sets the standard for price-to-performance ratio.
