The VPI Super Prime Scout 21 turntable is an enhanced version of the popular Prime Scout model, designed for audiophiles seeking superior tracking and sound quality. It includes a longer 10.5" JMW-10 aluminum tonearm that offers better tracking and comes with a VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) on-the-fly adjustable tonearm base, allowing fine-tuning of the tonearm angle during playback to reduce sibilance and improve clarity. The platter is a heavy 20-pound machined aluminum design, providing greater inertia and better isolation for consistent speed and reduced noise. The turntable also features the VPI Deluxe Delrin/stainless steel screw-down record clamp and the HW-40 Reference Isolation Feet for improved vibration control. The plinth footprint measures 18.5" x 14.5" and the finish is machined graphite. This package is a limited edition with quantities limited and is highly regarded for its build quality and sonic performance.
