Gold Member Username: Frank_abelaBerkshire UK Post Number: 1358 Registered: Sep-04 | Max, I am about to replace my Michell Orbe. The easy choice is to replace it with another Orbe since I am very happy with that deck. however, I have never heard a VPI and I have convinced the local distributor to let me listen to the ScoutMaster which retails for similar money. He hasn't sent it over yet, but I imagine it won't be long. Your cover is way too big for my purposes. My hutter rack is exactly 500x500 so the deck will only just fit and I'll need to thnk of some other solution. Regards, Frank. |

Going back to the cover, I think that the ad says that you can get different sizes. I needed a tabletop so that's what I got, but he had plinth top and other stuff too. Enjoy listening to those tables! |

I purchased a used Scout and it came with one - looks nice and fits snugly on top of the scout plinth, so the footprint is quite a bit smaller. |

Maybe it'll help. Did you try "Gingko Audio" in a google search? Spelling it "Ginkgo" may have gotten you the undesirable results. |

Bronze Member Username: PlatoWoodbury, NJ Post Number: 40 Registered: Oct-05 | Well, yes...but did you look at the price difference? Mine looks just as good, for half the price. I would rather put the savings in a couple of nice records. And, as I said before, plinth tops were available too. |

New member Username: Bigdaddy10Post Number: 5 Registered: May-06 | Sorry - missed your ad about plinth models. Do you have any pics? Your table top cover looks fantastic - just bigger than what I would use (that was the only point in my reply). I was a bit disapointed with the fact the there are some bubbles captive in the glue joints on my Gingko. If you have plinth models, by all means, please post a link! Thanks and sorry for the confusion. |
