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.

Since I already own a ton of records I bought new over the last 60 years, I do have excellent, but old  turntables and cartridges, however, I definitely would not have kept everything except for the expense and inconvienence.

I would say that if you have to ask this question then you should probably spend your money the DAC

Or get a nice Jelco or used SME IV or V arm. You will have bass with it and a VPI table like you wouldn’t believe. I never had a bass issue even with the SME IV and VPI 19-4 until 2005. It smokes Project and Rega tables and with the SDS, is truly running at the correct speed.

I like that newer MOFI table.  It looks like a great value for the money.
