Other Notes: 

The VPI Aries Scout is a high-performance, belt-driven turntable built for audiophiles seeking “analog magic.” Its 1-1/8-inch MDF plinth bonded to a 12-gauge steel plate provides exceptional rigidity and vibration damping, while a separate 600-RPM AC synchronous motor ensures ultra-quiet, stable rotation. The precision 9-inch JMW-9 unipivot tonearm with premium wiring and easy VTA adjustment, paired with a thick acrylic or metal platter, delivers detailed, dynamic, and punchy sound with a wide, immersive soundstage.

Minimalist in design but rich in performance, the Aries Scout offers deep midrange clarity and a “live” feel, making even complex, high-energy music shine. Rock-solid speed stability and a quiet background have earned it top reviews and multiple “Product of the Year” accolades. Highly upgradeable and long-lasting, it’s considered a plug-and-play, buy-once solution that bridges the gap between entry-level and high-end turntables, offering exceptional value and enduring audiophile appeal."
