You Still Need, What??


I had told my wife I was going to buy a turntable and have been buying vinyl for the last 6 months. Well, about a week ago I bought the table, a VPI Super scoutmaster.

I got the tt home and my wife said ,"It will be nice that you can finally play your albums" I looked at here and said I still need a phono stage and cartridge. She couldn't beleive it. Not to mention the record cleaning machine, stylus pressure guage , etc.

When she was asking the price of the cartridge(diamond needle)she felt that would be better spent for a new shiny sparkly for her finger.

Anyone else with a similar experience with the significant other not relizing all that is required for a vinyl system.

I liked some of your responses.I am lucky that I don't have to ask if I can buy that, my wife knows this is my hobby.

She was however shocked that it was going to cost thousands more for a phono stage and cartridge.

When I bought my last pre, I bought a nice diamond ring which my step son said was to soften the blow.

Are the bear paw feet the same height as the stock feet on the superscoutmaster as it has to mate with the external drive unit? Also , I plan on getting the 2 peice Gingko cloud base for the scoutmaster.

Darn, that's 1 more item.
Cheers
