VPI ScoutMaster II Turntable

So what does $2,600 worth of turntable buy you these days? Well if you’ve chosen the ScoutMaster II from VPI you’ll be getting a deck that attempts to minimize vibrations through sheer brute force. The belt driven platter is machined from a single block of aluminum and weighs about 20 pounds, with the whole turntable coming in at around 52 pounds. So in laymen’s terms it takes the ‘heavy things are hard to move’ approach to vibration dampening.

It also comes with the updated JMW-9T Standard tonearm which features a unipivot design which results in less friction, a tapered arm which reduces resonance and standing waves and it’s filled with a special dampening fluid to further reduce vibrations. And while $2,600 might seem like a lot to pay for a record player to most of us, if you’re an analog audiophile, it probably seems like a steal.

Wacom goes clubbing, unveils nextbeat NXT-1000 for “creative DJs,” nothing for derivative ones

We’ve been patiently waiting for Wacom to officially announce its upcoming Intuos4 tablet (recently caught by Mr. Blurrycam), so were were totally caught off-guard when the company instead unveiled a sort of foray into the music biz, a digital DJ interface destined for release in time to hit Japanese and European clubs this summer. It’s called the nextbeat NXT-1000, a device with a plethora of knobs, buttons, and a small LCD for controlling samples, plus a touch-sensitive pad that seems to act as a turntable and a fingertip drum machine in one. That pad actually pops out, maintaining a wireless connection to the base and enabling fleet-footed DJs to show some moves off-stage while still dropping beats — assuming their cans are wireless too. No word on cost at this point, but can you really put a price on that sort of musical freedom?
