My apologies if this type of post isn't allowed.  I really want to upgrade my cartridge but have no idea how to do it.  Would gladly pay someone to install it.   Thanks

What turntable are you using? I'm nowhere near but it might help to know.

I'm a few hours southwest of you in Lynchburg, but I would be happy to do it for you if you want to make a road trip.

I'm in Alexandria.  What's the Turntable/Arm/Cartridge to be setup?

I can help and I am in Vienna.  After using all kinds of protractor/disk/tools, I am settled on using Feickert Universal Protractor.  Life is so much easier with this thing.  Accurate digital scale helps too.  Do you have a azimuth adjust?  I f not, you may have to us shims.

Hi guys, I am In Gainesville.  I have a VPI Scout Jr.  The 2M Red is installed now and I want to buy a Dynavector 10 X 5

I don't have the time to look it up but check the spec and see if your 10x5 compliance and weight is similar to that of 2M Red.  I can't find any information on the arm that comes with your Scout Jr.  So if 2M Red packaged works with that arm, any cartridge with similar weight and compliance would work with your arm.  I am assuming VPI wouldn't have matched a wrong cart to the arm in the first place. 

This page explains the arm cartridge matching.

P.S.  I will be glad to help you install a new cartridge when you get one.
