I just received my new Scout 1.1/Ortofon 2m Black--wow! It pretty much crushes my former Technics SL 1500MK5/Shure M97xe combo!









For those concerned about the shape of the tonearm cables, I straightened them out as seen in the photo with the cover on!

Right--they recommend it instead of the supplied actual anti-skate system. So far, it seems to work just fine.

Congrats! Good to see you went with a dust cover as well. You're gonna love the 2M Black.

Oh, I do, aside from it revealing recording flaws and surface noise...even after cleaning with VPI machine! Clean, well recorded vinyl sounds fantastic.
