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.

Listen. Just buy the VPI. I bought a lesser model for more, and am happy. The unipivots have a learning curve, for sure, but the curve applies to any arm in the future, so good education there. 
No, wait....send me the info on this table so I can buy it. 
Seriously,  upgrade your cartridge first. Transducers make the most difference in any system. I strongly recommend SoundSmith. I had crackling in my system. Thought I damaged my Zephyr MIMC. Peter Lederman called me on a Sunday! to discuss my problem! Turns out it was too much gain from my phono pre. All good. 
Understand that with a great cartridge,  most ticks and pops ride under the music, not inside it. 
I still listen to digital, streaming my own ripped CDs and from Qobuz. I get restless after a few minutes.  I put on an LP, and am content.
