gartenman Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Has anyone heard a VPI Scout and Juicy Music Blueberry with the Cream Option together? If so, how did you like the synergy? Finally what cartridge was used and any recommendations welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have used the Scoutmaster (know it is not a Scout, but close enough)with a BB w/Cream in a previous system. The table was a fine match, but had to get the cartridge nailed down to bring it to its best. After trying Grados and the Dynavector 17D I found the match made in Heaven so to speak. I settled on the Dynavector XX-2. Great cart., great match for SM and BB. A little pricey but worth it. I liked the table with the BB so much that I am doing it again. Another SM and BBX w/Cream. This time I have gone with a Benz Micro Wood SL. I may be in for an even better match to the table according to the fellow I spoke with at VPI before purchasing the Benz. Also ran it by Mark first also and he said the same will probably go for the Cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I assume you auditioned the Benz -- what did you like better over the Dynavector? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard great things about the Scout with the Dynavector 20X.

jcmusic Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I've heard great things about the Scout with the Dynavector 20X. I have a Scoutmaster with a Dyna 20X S.V. and think that it sounds really nice!!! If I ever upgrade the cart. I may try the XX-2.
