I'd avoid the Thoren TD-190. It was a big flop, due mostly to some very
negative reviews. Most places are just trying get rid of them at closeout

Warning heeded.









The VPI Scout is, like all other VPI models, a 2-speed turntable This is
clearly indicated in the Stereophile review as follows:

Another thing you might want to consider, since you're stateside, is that VPI
is based in New Jersey, and has an excellent reputation for customer service in
the event that any is needed. (They also have a fairly large dealer network).

FWIW, they work well with Grado cartridges, and often come equipped with them -
depending on the dealer involved.
Package deals are certainly available if you do a little research.
