About the Aries Scout
The VPI Industries Aries Scout is a turntable known for its robust construction and precise sound reproduction. It features a plinth made from 1.125-inch thick MDF bonded to a 12-gauge steel plate, providing a rigid and non-resonant base. The turntable includes a machined aluminum platter and is driven by a 600 RPM AC synchronous motor housed in a separate steel unit. This motor setup ensures quiet and stable operation, with standard speeds of 33 and 45 RPM, and an optional 78 RPM. The Scout comes equipped with the JMW 9 or JMW 9T tonearm, which offers adjustable VTA and anti-skate features. The turntable is designed to deliver high-quality audio performance while maintaining a relatively affordable price point compared to other high-end turntables.
