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

"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.

Virtually every 100k dollar table is BELT. Technics is not EVEN close to same league as VPI or REGA. Unless YOU ARE A DISC JOCKEY.

But your missing the real savings in buying one of those mid fi Technics DD tables.
You won't have anymore need for anything digital, all the money saved on Cd's, Dacs, Streamers, Transports,.....etc etc....Just buy more records cause they're all going to sound like a 1990 vintage cd player anyway on the Technics. And...you can come on here and be superior to anyone...even with a mid fi unit that fewer want and fewer own. Pretend it's rare and be firm in knowing everyone else is wrong and even when it's obvious your driving people off the forums...keep shouting down at their cheap choices...take charge of the school yard...
😒

Jeffvegas,

If your talking a total of $10K, go big, this table VPI HRX will not last long at $5999, with free shipping from a dealer, www.ebay.com/itm/VPI-HR-X-Turntable-with-12-Tonearm-with-SDS/324081088366?hash=item4b74bcf76e:g:ORMA....  Add a nice cartridge later.

Technics was always my favorite at Radio Shack. But I never spotted Mark Levinson gear next to it. 

I just bought the REGA RP10. Demo unit at a dealer for 3 grand out the door. Next is the cartridge. Probably going to be something inexpensive to start like a Hana SL for 750 bucks. I am looking at phono preamps. Not going to go expensive either. Looking at a BEL CANTO PHONO STAGE used for 800 bucks. . At least it will match my BEL CANTO DAC. We will see how this turns out. I can always upgrade cartridge and phono later.
