shaizada - Quite an impressive array of tables/arms/cartridges to choose from!!! Do you have a favorite among the many choices; how do you decide which to play for a specific album? Possibly a specific setup favors one type of music while another has different strengths. Interested in hearing your perspective, and enjoy the tunes!!!

I think the favorite depends on what I am looking to seek from each kind of record. With many choices, a nice memorable listening session can be had.

Thanks!!

I absolutely love analog! There are other turntables I have that I've not shown yet (Townshend Rock 7, Micro Seiki BL-91L, VPI TNT 6 Hot Rod).

I just wanted to dip my toe in and got carried away.
My first new turntable since high school. Thanks for making it happen Ivan. I just can't stop looking at it. My 10 year old just came home from school and said let's play it. I said it is playing. He put his ear up to the speaker and proclaimed, "it is not, that music is coming from your speakers."

I didn't think the Scout was that difficult to set up, but in that same price range, it doesn't get any simpler than a Rega RP6.
