| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. I would not waste your money on a vpi scout if all you own is 25 records! I would shoot for a lower tier pro-ject such as the debut carbon with ortofon 2m red @ $399. Read Michael Fremers review of that table as he found it to be a very nice sound... | |
