Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I offered this up at another forum and thought that maybe someone here might appreciate a good deal so here goes... My wife and I are starting to look into downsizing and one of the things I'll be losing is my separate listening room. Of course, that means that I will no longer need most of the gear in there. First up for sale:$1,400 plus actual shippingVPI Scout SE turntable with Ortofon 2M Black MM cartridge This turntable was discussed in depth on the Steve Hoffman forums: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/vpi-scout-se-turntable.321690/. VPI only made 25 of these after they found a stash of unused HW19 platters during a warehouse cleanup and I was a lucky guy when my wife decided to buy one for me and give it to me for Christmas. I asked for it because I thought that the HW19 platter on the Scout plinth looked great. I was not disappointed - it does look great. I will be sad to see this go. I've used it about 150-250 hours, all with the Ortofon 2M Black MM cartridge that I am offering it with. It came with an HW19 platter & bearing as well as a JMW-9T Unipivot tonearm and a record clamp. I added a Soundsmith Counter Intuitive to make setup easier. This turntable/cart setup has been a stellar performer since I got it setup last March after several months of back and forth with VPI to get the correct alignment jig. Payment by PayPal only. I would prefer a local pickup but will ship using UPS at actual cost. I live in Southern NH, about an hour's drive from Boston. I want to sell this as a package deal, but I will separate them. If you only want the turntable without the cart, it would be $1,100.00 plus actual shipping. I had a buyer from CA who fell through but I did get an estimate of $88 to ship this to CA. Thanks for looking, Kevin Edited February 26, 2015 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 That's a very fair price. Earlier this week I ordered a VPI Classic 1 with that very same cartridge. Otherwise I would have given this some serious consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
