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.

But i can imagine industry without belt drive turntables, those companies did nothing except for cheap turntables for consumers

That's about the stupidest as of yet statement you've made. Besides the fact you couldn't name a producer of Japanese tables who also didn't produce belted tables as well, the names of tables who went only belt would shame your rubber hearted technics. 
Please, we all can read the same drivel you regurgitate regularly here...so stick to that and don't go outside your true narrow vision and knowledge.
5 years of using old units with tired electronics hardly makes an expert. Its insulting to those that actually have and do fix, repair and rebuild tables since the 70's. 
There is no best, there are choices , all with differing strengths and weaknesses and more importantly different tone and tempos and extremes.
All drives can and do offer good to excellent results. 

The real question is when your not driving people from these forums with your drivel....how many of your real peers with the bear driving can you get in your car......
From all this fodder and nonsense, if anything realize this.... opinions are biased so find your own bias. You can't be wrong with what's right for you, but can always be wrong when you preach what's right for everyone else. Avoid generalized statements like the narrow minded ones on unipivot arms, as there are always exceptions to the rules and or the opinions of others. Some prefer an SME arm others a Graham unipivot. Nobodies wrong if they like what they have. They become daft and wrong when they don't like what you have and constantly remind you ad nauseum why thier choice would be better for you. If a dealer knocked everyone else's product and praised only his own lines, would his word really be in arguably always correct, yet alone trusted as a fits all no exceptions end .......
Listen and go with your ears and your gut on sound and comfort of price and use....4U
Enjoy....we're only here for one trip....
Virtually every 100k dollar table is BELT. Technics is not EVEN close to same league as VPI or REGA. Unless YOU ARE A DISC JOCKEY.

But your missing the real savings in buying one of those mid fi Technics DD tables.
You won't have anymore need for anything digital, all the money saved on Cd's, Dacs, Streamers, Transports,.....etc etc....Just buy more records cause they're all going to sound like a 1990 vintage cd player anyway on the Technics. And...you can come on here and be superior to anyone...even with a mid fi unit that fewer want and fewer own. Pretend it's rare and be firm in knowing everyone else is wrong and even when it's obvious your driving people off the forums...keep shouting down at their cheap choices...take charge of the school yard...
