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

Is that old guy on Decauter Blvd still selling overpriced used records?The place on Sahara and Paradise has cool stuff now and then.
Back to your query..Table setup is a one time thing. Pops and noise? Buy better records, and clean them.
A used VPI can be found for cheap(relatively speaking)  Same goes for the phonostage.

It's a table/cart/phonostage thing. Don't cheap out, if you dare.

Spidey senses say this thread is a fake. OP's intentions are elsewhere.

4G’s for whatever table, isn’t going to make the sound you’re after.Plan on spending at least half of that amount on a decent phonostage.
Nice table and so-so phonostage is a downer.

You can get by with a $ 500-1K MC cart=entry point to hear what the fuss is all about.

Just my opinion. With effort used gear, maybe a complete package for less.

Huh, looks like this thread may not be fake? I got the vibe it is.

Yeah, VPI turntables are everything negative the "experts" say in this thread and more. Terrible design all around.


How many happy owners are there? And VPI has survived how long? Certainly not a perfect company, but most audio companies aren’t.
If they are truly garbage, a long term user base would not exist.


There isn’t an ideal table in any price point. There are choices in all price point, and the best of that bunch is subjective.

Disclosure:I’m using an ancient Classic. A VPI in a proper setup supported by the rest of the system, is good as anything else in the wacky world of audio.

You need to have 20 turntables lined up, side by side. Play your favorite record on all of them one after one then, you can determine what’s the best. And for heavens sake, don’t include a VPI,uni pivot design among them. SMH
I personally, would get a used VPI, if I were in the market for another table.Lots of deals to be had.


The unipivot design just takes getting used to.

Rega P8 is getting great reviews from users and the write ups.

Unless you can go to a dealer and listen to setups, you will go round and round reading everyone’s opinion, bias, comments on others post etc.
Research the brands, open your wallet as much as you can, and take the plunge. Don’t like what you’re hearing,get rid of it, hopefully without too much of a loss.

"pandora on a cell phone"
What doe's that even mean?
This is an odd thread. The OP's responses throughout the thread are not consistent with someone who looking to seriously purchase a substantial turntable.

Some responses seem like a kid  in junior high is answering.

Oh well, it's the internet. Enjoy whatever you buy.
