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

If you have 25 records why do you need VPI SCOUTMASTER belt drive ? As i can see even second hand VPI is about $2k, right ? Look for new Technics first and compare the prices, it is direct drive.

Never buy an MC cartridge if you never tried a good MM before, read this article first. Start with MM or MI cartridges, because when you will destroy some MC you won’t be able to replace the stylus yourself. Stick to under $700 price tag for a cartridge, buy Moving Magnet or Moving Iron. Check Garrott or SoundSmith if you need new production. Audio-Technica cartridges are always good! 
 Some vintage are excellent too.

Only Linn product I ever liked is my 20 year old Linn Ikemi cd player. LP12 is all hype. VPI's blow them away. 

We really need a device that adds clicks and pops to digital media so it sounds more like vinyl. I have lots of new vinyl (and old stuff) that sounds astonishingly good...lucky me, so of course you don't need used records particularly. Note I'm not a vinyl fanatic as I like plenty of digital also, but hey...you can only play vinyl on a turntable and since it can sound great, why not have a decent one? My Akito arm has bearings and still works somehow...detail for days.

Unfortunately that's the only arm that comes with the SCOUTMASTER.  JMW MEMORIAL TONEARM.  Unipivot offers less friction. Follows the grooves better. Superior sound. Bearings add friction and you lose detail. 

And there are a million used all-analog LPs available for reasonable prices!

You don't need to spend $thousands to have excellent and enjoyable LP playback!

Your P7 has an excellent phonostage capable of handling a low-output mc cartridge. No need to change it!

Jeff, that is a personal decision you have to make for yourself. Too much money and effort involved so you really have to love it. I certainly would not get a VPI unless you can get it without a tonearm. Get a tonearm  with a good gimbal bearing. Uni pivot arms have too many degrees of freedom and can not hold a cartridge steady. If you look at the systems reviewers use they avoid uni pivot arm with perhaps the exception of the Graham. The very best arms have proper bearings.

I was recommended a MC cartridge from Japan with a Japanese name starts with an S. Its 750 bucks. So using the phono stage in my Parasound P7 wont work? Lol. It's got a switch for MC. 

If the ticks and pops bug you, stay with digital. The better your table and phono amp, the less you notice. Buy older used originals instead of new records. Cheaper and sound better. 

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.

I also would add that I listen to digital through a 20 year old Linn Ikemi CD player. So 4 grand into a turntable or 4 grand into a DAC? Also wonder how that fire  that burned down a record plant in California will affect record production.  Ahhhhhh, but a record spinning on a big VPI table with a thick platter looks and sounds soooooo sexy!!! 

Only if you want to invest a lot of time and money.  If you're happy with what you're listening to now, you can make it better for a lot less money than what getting into vinyl would cost. 

Stick with digital or streaming and pretend it sounds better than  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.
