”The Scout blew me away with its control, detail, and zest for the music. I loved it. It’s hard to think why anyone would want more!”
- Jacob Heilbrunn, The Absolute Sound, Golden Ear Award Winner, June 2008

The VPI Scout is Music Direct's best-selling VPI turntable. Demand for this table is so great; VPI can barely keep up. The Scout has all the features you want in a high-end turntable: an outboard motor, a precision machined acrylic platter, and the amazing JMW-9 tonearm. The Scout is so simple to set-up, you can have the table up and running in just minutes. The sound is fast and detailed, closer than you might expect to the performance of VPI's reference HR-X at a fraction of its cost. The Scout is worthy of the world's finest cartridges. See Art Dudley's amazing review in Stereophile where he writes, 'Go hear the VPI Scout right away. It's hard to imagine another way of spending this kind of money that will add this much to your system!'

Bottom line: The VPI Scout is one the best values in all of analog! Music Direct can help you make the right cartridge choice and we have the experience to set your turntable up properly!  Call any Music Direct Analog Consultant for more information regarding adding a Scout or Scout Signature to your system.

"If you want to experience a huge taste of analog heaven without the hellish price tag, the VPI Scout deserves your attention!"
— Editor’s Choice Award, The Absolute Sound

The JMW-9 tonearm is the perfect complement to the Scout, offering all of the advantages of a unipivot tonearm at a bargain price. The arm has a low friction bearing mounted on a solid stainless steel rod with markings to set VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle). As with the more expensive JMW-10 and JMW-12 arms, the tonearm assembly of the JMW-9 can be removed and replaced in seconds, allowing instant cartridge changes with multiple armwands. An RCA junction box allows any RCA-terminated interconnects to be used.  There are two versions of the JMW-9, Standard and Signature.

The JMW-9 Standard on the Scout is the award-winning stock tonearm for the Scout.  A unipivot design, the JMW-9 Standard's single point of contact causes less friction than standard gimbaled designs.  This means the JMW-9 Standard is quieter, more dynamic and a better tracker than most other designs.  No wonder it's so popular!

The VPI Scout has a fairly compact footprint, measuring only 19" W x 13" D x 4" H.
