Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.


Should I pursue analog? Invest maybe 3 or 4 grand in a table and start buying records? Some stuff sounds really good on Vinyl but it's an expensive endeavor and NEW records aren't cheap. Plus thos pops and noise and a lot of setup required. Love the vintage aspect of it. Some records sound truly amazing on a really good table and cartridge. Take the plunge? Or buy a better DAC and dont look back!!! Lol.

I think that all this stuff just makes things more complicated.  If you want to try analog, get some simple, turnkey table like a Music Hall 7.1 or whatever the final iteration is and play some records.  It comes with a decent arm and MM cartridge and it's good enough to let you know whether you want to continue with something better in the future.  I did it with a Music Hall 5.1.  I thought it sounded really good and I later upgraded the table after I decided to pursue analog.  If you don't like it, you can sell it for a few hundred loss and move on.
