| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. beware of ideologues. MC vs. MM, digital vs analog, direct drive vs. belt drive - all depends on the implementation, not the format per se.

| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. Hanna MC cartridge owner should explain what would you do when your stylus is worn after 600-1000hrs of use if it's Shibata or if you will broke your stylus/cantilever accidentally? | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @uberwaltz It’s a minimum price on ebay for used without box, buy it if it’s clean, the price increased in the last 3 years, this is what i noticed myself. And NOS units normally twice as much. | |
| Getting close to starting the upgrade process... If you like your Micro then you can look for a Denon DP-80 and it will be a much better turntable than anything else in your list. It is also "best buy" in my opinion because the price is more than reasonable even for NOS units like mine. Stock or... | |
