” Once I got the hang of how much thumb pressure equaled how much travel fore or aft, this was quite easy. Less than easy was adjusting the height of the Cornet 2: Because the tonearm mount is of such large diameter, and because it’s made without an upper collet of any sort, the grub screw that secures the arm pillar is snugged into the far end of a recess unusually deep, even given the oblique angle at which the recess was machined. Because that screw is nonetheless quite short, and because it’s made of nylon rather than metal, it was the very dickens to turn. Proponents of making fasteners “Linn-tight,” an inclination on which I’ll withhold judgment, will be confounded.”

” One final aspect of the deck caused my audio antennae to twitch. Most manufacturers (and most of us) dispensed with the sort of heavy rubber record mat fitted to the Langer many, many moons ago. At least this one is flat rather than patterned and profiled, and I spent quite some time listening with it in place, as I grew accustomed to the sound of the deck. But the longer I listened, the more tempting it became to experiment with alternative mats.”

” The Scout was able to generate an impressive three dimensional soundstage with faultless instrument placement. The playing of the snare drum relayed the swats and the slaps of sticks on the drum-skin in a surreal manner. There was both delicacy and finesse in the portrayal of the instruments and low level details were brought forth with aplomb. The upright bass plucks had fullness with a reverent echo of the space in which it was being played, and its position was clearly revealed at the back of the soundstage”

“I actually own and play a two-pickup version of Wes’ guitar through a Fender Twi Reverb, and I know that tone. The record, VPI arm, Benz cartridge and the Luminous Arion all contribute to make it as real as possible. And the original recording is more than 50 years old!”

” Impressive to relate, the Pro-Ject arm is actually the limiting factor to even higher performance. An identical Nagaoka MP150 in an Audio Note Arm III on my Twin sounds even better, trading off a tiny amount of absolute depth for even better detail and three dimensionality. This might be the lowest rung on the Avid ladder but it is still at a higher level than much of the competition. ”
