Audio-Technica AT637 Electronic Stylus Cleaner   (Sold - Australia)

Very good condition, perfectly operational. Vintage product no longer made.  Includes original box.

Oscillating high density brush thoroughly cleans all cartridges. No more original cleaning fluid.  You can use a Lyra SPT, Discwasher, or Audio-Technica stylus cleaning fluid (dropped on brush).  Basically it does the brushing for you but through gentle vibrations.

Many prefer dry brushing, claiming more effectiveness (unless stylus is extremely dirty).  Clean the stylus for about 20 seconds. Cleaner is laid on the platter, and stylus is lowered onto the cleaner.

These phono cables have been very well-received, offering significant improvements over stock tonearm cables compared to other 3rd party cables, like in SMEs, or as cables for Graham tonearms from 1.5 to the the Phantom (excellent match with Graham to help give much-needed body to the lean-sounding Graham tonearms aside from damping with oil), etc.

These phono cables are Limited Edition, especially made for discerning high-end audiophiles in the Singapore market.  Second in line only to the top model Purist Audio Dominus cables, these cables are usually available only to the Singapore high-end community.  Special cables indeed, experience what we and other audiophiles here have found to be excellent cables.  Full-bodied yet articulate without unwanted fat.

Shure SFG-2 Stylus Force Gauge   (Sold - Singapore)

Vintage early SFG-2 (probably 1970s or early 80s), still perfectly operational. Includes original box, aged but intact, different printing from current production box.  Still trustworthy over cheap digital gauges.

"The Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge is the industry standard. This simple-to-use measuring device was developed to give listeners a way to insure against the problems caused by improper tracking force settings, which include mistracking, excessive record and tip wear, and poor sound reproduction.

This gauge is a highly accurate beam balance instrument designed to measure the actual downward force exerted by a stylus on a record over the range of 0.5 to 3.0 grams. Each gauge is individually calibrated, and displays readings in 0.05 gram increments in order to provide a precise measurement of stylus tracking force."

Since force is measured with the tonearm in its actual playing position, use without a record when measuring.  If with a felt mat that's too soft, replace with a record or layers of records to approximate very closely the height of the mat.

Read review by TNT-Audio.  There are some notes under Complaints section that are important to remember, regarding gently tapping of the cartridge.

Best-sounding VPI (and not the most expensive), strong praise according to review below  :)

2004 Hi Fi Product of the Year, 2004 Stereophile Magazine Runner-up Analog Product of the Year & 2004 Positive Feedback Online Product of the Year.

So many of you have been asking us when an upgraded version of the Scout will be available. Well...it's finally here! The VPI Scout Master consists of a resonance damping, solid steel plate sandwiched between two Scout plinths, the Aries 2 platter and bearing assembly, a newly designed 300RPM motor inside an aluminum housing and easier VTA adjustability for the JMW-9 tonearm. The Scout Master is a full 15 pounds heavier, but shares the same compact 19" x 14" footprint as its little brother. For an additional USD400, you can add the new VPI Outer Ring Clamp as well! This is the perfect table for someone who wants more table than the Scout, but cannot get into the Aries 2 price range. Again, VPI sets the standard for price-to-performance ratio.

"…the Scout Master was light on its feet, with snappy pacing and lithe rhythmic drive. I felt good listening to it. Its ability to produce a deep, stable, three-dimensional soundstage was particularly noteworthy. Overall, the Scout Master is the best-sounding, best-looking turntable I've yet encountered from VPI…" - Michael Fremer, Stereophile, September 2004
